To My Creation

February 22, 2021

Seven laborious days

Seven toiling nights

She lies, swaddled in lush landscape


Twinkling, cosmic dust consumes her sky

With My hands I created thee

Precious in My sight


Ev’ry star, ev’ry worm, ev’ry tree

I crafted for thee

But O’ how corrupt is My creation!


Lapis sky now joins the horizon, shielded by

A billowing curtain 

Poisonous particles swarm her seas


O’ My creation, you have betrayed Me!

My animations lie tainted, in tatters

Combat in her creeks


How could thee, My creation?

For if you do not renew me

It is that one day all will cease
