Life’s Beginnings

Centuries of creations, a bravura of celestial fireworks, masterstrokes exploited, tides of events vying between gelid cold or searing hot. Mountains grew, valleys sunk oceans divided and storms struck. Dust, sand, dunes, soil, decomposition. Then came life! All was controlled and peaceful, for God created all things good. Alas, it was the calm before the storm, for after man was born all hell broke loose And deadly fireworks never ceased.

Before the beginning, fireworks went bang - God then created all the wonders in this world, and lastly he created man and gave him logic, which man did not use wisely, to this day, he is destroying what God so kindly gave us, heaven help us as all, the fireworks begin again. What a wise write, Bless you Victor, Jennifer.

God created bestilled life, and His breath into that stillness came life. Life beyond Eden's exiles, Calvary's cross claimed the sins. The Gospels speak of abiding faith will not falter at the altar as rumors rise, truth or lies, lives or dies ... keep in prayer in Jesus' name, Amen.

An ancient argument... some would agree, others would disagree... but we should all accept one another's perspectives. The diversity of humankind proves that Adam was the catalyst for change. Impressive prose.Victor, well done.

I love this one. Mankind is so varied that change definitely started with Adam. Great writing.

God saw mankind as good, but of course, being human, we messed up, but God has a plan for redemption. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K

How profound and touching, Victor. For the ones respect our Mother's nature is wisdom to read through, but the most human beings don't read between the lines of their own story of living. I loved this interpretation of your writing about life, as it really is. I can't understand so much euphoria for having material things, be popular, be the best at your job, be admired because you are the richiest...the story is, that we go on the wrong direction. I appreciate this poem, as I always appreciate the best feelings on every penning by your heart. Thank you my dear Victor. Hugs/María

The Bible in a nutshell, except the best part. A sacrifice offered and redemption secured for those who believe. In the meantime, fireworks on steroids present

Thus life began in chaos and may end in chaos, though God created everything beautiful. Man is responsible for his undoing. Thought provoking poem dear Victor.

You have fired off some powerful words her Victor. Nothing to contradict. Just plenty to like in a well constructed reminder of what needs to change while still time. Like how much you crammed in with out it looking cramped. Regards David in NZ
