Divinity and Atmospheres

God shapes divine beginnings,  life forms
Perhaps they start off as rocket plasma shots 
Light pulls inward on a string of mystery
Spinning through the cosmos  
As random as the planets
Some land at night 
Abundant and with matter  
Mars and Earth at first
Transform into humans resting place
Not made at home
Created in God's image
Families form there to belong
Underneath red skies and rocks abound
Who decides
Blue skies seem more favorable
Confidence runs high
Mars lost thin layers of air laid down long ago
At dawn
Atmosphere is gone 
And with it spirits
Years in the planning have no chance
Though thick gases cover with protection
Earth will follow next
Humans made in His image
Imagine that as planets pass
Into the plasma past
