Blue Green Flames

Blue green flames rose from his palms
He formed them into a ball
Tossed it into outer space
In a distance it looked small

He breathed upon it's surface
Giving land and oceans form
He opened up the heavens
Creating lakes with a storm

Life sprang within the waters
Both in the lakes and the Sea
Animals walking on the land
A glimpse of eternity

Created in his image
The first human came to life
God knew he would be lonely
So for him he made a wife

Placed in a special garden
Where all of their needs are met
Still man was not satisfied
There was more for him to get

Ejected from the Garden
A flamed sword placed at the gate
Communion with their Father
Delayed till a future date

Richard...it's almost like you saw it all in a vision...Wow! Breathtakingly beautiful...The story of Beginnings...we have yet to experience the climactic final events after which Eden will be restored...Won't that be amazing. :) Thanks for the visits. If this is for a contest...My money is on you.... :)

The inspiration came from a contest about magic. People think about magic as makebelieve so for that reason I will not enter this one into the contest.

Richard; this is beautiful - I love it, but is this the end, or is there a part II ? Lucilla

Nice interpretation of the picture, Richard I may perhaps choose the third one.
