Creation 2

CREATION

Life settled in my palm as would a faceted cloud.
Ephemeral shooting stars of myriad colour jostled 
for position like children before a  favourite teacher.
“Choose me”, sparkled effervesant through my mind. 
I did not understand,  where was God?
"I am here" ,came a voice like all the cathedral choirs and yet as intimate as whisper, "this is your show.   
Thus creation began.

open your thought widely 
allow the earth to be an example
know the otters joy,
eagles fierce flight
celebration of a rising lark
learn how to be.

Jannie Breedt September 4, 2019 at 3:49 PM Well this otter is full of joy too!! Having found you in my inbox, how wonderful. I am here !!! So heres the thing, i barely have time for Soup. My country is aflame and has become a very dangerous place. No going out at night at all. 22 housebreaks later also compels me to stay in. Daytime I work my ass off trying to stay afloat with my plumbing. Heck, I often think of you. I cant split my energy on two field yet. Maybe later. But now Im a happy chappy otter
