Peruse the Creation, imaginative and very much so.



It sets in with increments
Of shock, wonder, beholding
Adoration.
Specimens include
Waterfall.
Oceanside.
Sunset on the Veldt.
Mangrove swamp.
Swiss city lakeside
Grand mountains overlooking.
Birthing of impala
On the run.
Larva into winged Monarch.
Hungry baby crows crying
Getting Mother’s satisfaction.
Egg into chicken who lays another
Egg.
Corn into niblets
Some saved for next year
Mexico seed.
Are you tallying?
No longer far fetched?
Beauty upon beauty.
Wonder upon wonder.
This idea, His Idea of Resurrection Power.
