Notes About The Poem

"IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH AND THE EARTH WAS WITHOUT FORM AND DARKNESS WAS UPON THE FACE OF THE DEEP.                     AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD MOVED UPON THE FACE OF THE WATERS AND GOD SAID LET THERE BE LIGHT AND GOD SAW THAT THE LIGHT WAS GOOD AND GOD DIVIDED THE LIGHT FROM THE DARKNESS AND HE CALLED THE LIGHT DAY AND THE DARKNESS HE CALLED NIGHT AND THE EVENING AND THE MORNING WERE THE FIRST DAY."                                                                                                                             Genesis 1:1-5

A Starry Night

The Constellations, intricate designs,
Displayed across the sky,
Truly show intelligence,
And a practiced eye.

Not just scattered randomly,
But very carefully balanced,
Forming systems all their own,
Not happening by chance.

Extreme precision, mathematics,
Portend another being,
Enormous power to create,
A solar system teeming,

With life and beauty everywhere.
Nature at it's best,
Proves to us that God exists,
And that we're amply blessed.

This is beautiful and uplifting, Judy! No wonder Van Gogh painted about 20 variations of the Starry Night! He too was inspired by them, and knew that, unlike the Creator, he would never be completely satisfied with the end result! ~ Best regards // paul

Yes, I agree that one can see the hand of a being greater than any man in all of nature including man's creation as well. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. Sara

How anyone can look up at a clear night sky and conclude that 'it's all random,' is way, way beyond me. Insightful stuff, Judy!

Amen, Judy! I can't fathom how people could behold just a TINY bit of the Universe's mysterious majesty and doubt that there is a God! Janice

Yes, indeed--there is beauty and symmetry up there. It is filled with celestial mystery--balance as you say, Judy. Force of gravity has its magic. And yes--we are blessed.
