The writing of further poems in this series is likely at a future date.) <br /> <br />All that is in creation falls into an attentive hush <br />As the Creator speaks into the emptiness <br />From His mind into reality comes a sphere <br />And light for that which shall be day, <br />Darkness for that which shall be known as night, <br />Yet with lights of its own, lights of beauty <br />For the days to come after Man has fallen <br />And forgotten his Maker, the One that breathed life into him <br />Man will look into the sky late at night and stand in wonderment <br />And ask themselves and others, what is it that draws me so? <br />The night sky holds a great riddle, for there is truth in it <br />The light out there beckons me, and I feel a great longing <br />For something that I lost though I never really had <br />Something lost long ago, long before I was ever born <br />And yet somehow, whatever was lost, I lost it too <br />Many, many years before I was ever conceived. <br />Out in that vast expanse are lights, and though I know not how <br />I know that the light in the darkness represents something far greater <br />That which I have sought my entire life without knowing what it is I seek <br /> <br />(March 5,2003)<br /><br />David Lovell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/genesis-collection-part-1-written-in-the-stars/
