Richard Lamoureux Poet Quatrain

The Stuff of His Imagination

God had to exist forever
Or nothing could be
All around us is evidence
The very fact that we can see

From nothing comes nothing
Random acts didn't create man
I'm no monkey's relative
I'm part of God's plan

As I look out my window
I let my mind flow
Seeking knowledge
From the God I wish to know

Within my minds eye
I travel back in time
I pray for understanding
The face of the Divine

With logical thinking
If I go back far enough
There can be nothing from nothing
Only God can create stuff

We are the stuff of his dreams
It is through him that we are real
Our mind body and spirits
Interconnected spokes on life's wheel

What is small is big
What is big is small
There is only one hand
Who can hold it all

So I look to the heavens
I try to comprehend
Nothing is truly random
With a God that has no end

Richard D Seal October 24, 2013 at 7:47 PM I'm always amazed by the first few paragraphs of Genesis, the beginning almost explained in terms of evolution, all the steps are correct but written a time long before evolution was even thought of. Makes you wonder where they got that from. Nice one Rick, Take care, Richard

Andrea Dietrich October 24, 2013 at 3:49 PM this is the one thing I am SURE Of, that we are not from nothing, and that there has to be a creator. VERY nice!!!

Eileen Manassian October 24, 2013 at 10:22 AM :) You have Him smiling, Richard...Good for you for speaking out for your faith....I applaud you! Yes...He spoke and it came to be....Through Christ...The WORD! :) Hugs

Just That Archaic Poet October 23, 2013 at 2:09 PM I know it's probably strange to profess my belief and love of God, yet I do believe in evolution. I guess it's just a difference in theological beliefs. I think the "big-bang" and evolution was God's way of putting everything in motion. Though we may not agree, I did enjoy this piece. I enjoy anything that gives glory to God, for he deserves it. I wouldn't be typing this but for his Grace. Kudos, Richard :) Richard Lamoureux October 24, 2013 at 9:43 AM I think the most important part is that you believe, the rest is just details. One day He will answer all of our questions.
