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.
