III
Causing a separation stronger than divorce
The Creator gave waters to the heaven and some to the earth
The earthly waters made room for dry land
If the heavenly waters did, only the creatures therein can tell.
In the spirit of occupying, the birds and flying objects claimed the sky
Expressing and exploring, maximizing the limitless space to fly
None would be called virgin,
Of the family of Micah they won’t be found.
The land sprung forth, birthing fruits, seeds and herbs
Like a twin sentenced to eternal rivalry,
The waters in turn bore fishes and sea animals
The whales and living creatures.
But upon the head of creations, He called a conference;
Of elders and angels, the entirety of the heavenlies
Not because He needed help but because man should be special
The gathering formed an entity
From clay he was made to stand like a statue
Staring but visionless, figure without life
God made him in His own image.
So that the sight of him, tells you how He looks
But he couldn’t function without the breath
The breath that makes him the image of God.
Bearing Thoughts as creative as like the Beginning Himself
Speaking words as potent as his maker.
When He made him, He said he was good!
So blessed He him thus:
To fruitfully replenish the earth
To multiply his kind and lord on others.
Animals might have kings
Fishes can have community leaders
The Fowl of the air would create a defense in troop
But you, his image, was made for dominion!
And everything made perfect sense to God…
The End.
