The Power of Love (Part 5)
The Fifth Day
Beneath the waters
Creatures grew; finned and mammals
The sea was their habitat
Until some emerge
Out of the water
Some creatures grew big and tall
But with their presence, the small
Did not have much chance.
It was a failure.
Like a displeased artist, God
Had to bring a change that would
Fit his plan better.
Spring had been long gone
The summer had been quite hot
Autumn, a memory that
Left a sense of cold.
All the creatures sensed
A change in the air, strife like
That threatened their very life
And the earth entered
The dreaded ice age.
Then on one fine day, the change
The meltdown; new life emerged
Quadrupeds appeared
With fur of colors
Some spotted, others with stripes
Some large, some tall, others small
Some tamed, some quite wild.
Beautiful animals
Living in forests or plains
Some in prairies and mountains
Others in jungles.
There were those that flew
With wings and bodies feathered
Male and female; attributes
Of the Creator.
