Dance of Creation "He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning." Daniel 2:21 As our burning, glowing stars twinkle with mysteries We dance in radiant glitter through far off galaxies The Power of Creation calls our spirits with sadness, glee To dance in His Majestic Glory over heaven's brightest, glowing seas. A spectrum of bright glowing colors, illuminating A symphony of frequencies turning dark nights into brightest days As God's Spirits cycle 'round His Holy throne to see Us, as we dance, as we flow, as we change, harmonically, spectacularly. Our days; our nights with warm peace, cold fear, far then near Seconds ticking through as our days and years and eternity As we, and all of Creation dance silently, violently, quietly, noisily, In peace and in war, dancing though our regular, irregular seasons. Expanding, maximizing energy distribution, and then Imploding, minimizing matter concentration, never staying the same. As the heavens arrange, rearrange, adjust and readjust the Music in God's symphony of the heaven's, plays over earth, throughout all space. We are His music! We're in; we're out; silent; shout Here, then about, almost predictably? 'Tis day; 'tis night; 'tis wrong; 'tis right, clear, confused Round circles we all go, blinded with sight. We push our best to fill our glass, then need rest Are pulled, alas! We rise to highs; sink into lows. Are bound to be set free; a dance so heavenly Up and down; meet each test, then gain surety. On land; through skies; in the sea, bound, free Our states change constantly To stars we fly, then fall as we die Lighted day turns slowly, quickly into dark night. And as we step and flow, fast and then slow Together, then in opposite directions Our hearts seek rest from surging changing zest As death seeks new resurrection with peace and joy. As our spirits attract to life's power packs Order is confused; as man tries to outwit God Who made all, and has turned our darkness into lighted skies Around His Holy Plan. Come to Me! He cries. Now, death is lost; Christ paid the cost As Love attracts; release brings sight We're saved from death when out of breath Our darkness turns to light. And as all spirits grow, they know, that as they go It will be a wonderfully, smooth, terribly bumpy ride Flowing around in oscillating, wobbling, diverging, converging orbits Through the space of life, death, and eternity as we thrust, glide Meet and learn to love our Creator, God, doing the Dance of Creation. The Dance of Creation.
