sky stretched overhead
waters gathered below land
earth rose to greet them
22
land brought forth new life
trees plants seeds all in due time
earth green with promise
23
sun ruled the bright day
moon guarded the quiet night
stars marked time’s rhythm
24
waters teemed with life
birds soared across endless skies
motion filled the world
25
beasts walked upon land
wild and free each in its kind
breathing earth’s great song
26
then God breathed deep love
humankind rose in Her image
male and female called
27
to live and to care
to be in Divine likeness
bearing light and grace
28
world in its fullness
God saw and knew it was good
very good indeed
29
evening to morning
creation’s quiet song rose
echoing pure joy
30
eyes fixed on the light
horizon of hope ahead
I walk forth with faith
