Poem: Psalm

Psalm

I will create, says the Lord.
From nothing, I will create.
From barren ground, gardens will spring.
From ravished cities, new empires will rise.
From the desert, water will flow.

I will create says the Lord,
from nothing, I will create.
For it is at my essence, creation.
I know the secret others do not see
though it dances in front of them daily.

I will create says the Lord,
from nothing, I will create.
And there is no spirit so broken,
no heart so torn, no weakness so overwhelmed,
that cannot be recreated, made anew.

I will create says the Lord,
from nothing, I will create.
And none are exempt
from my love, my power, my desire
to create.

============

The poem was actually inspired not by a Psalm, but by Isaiah 65:10, which was part of my devotions this morning - "The voice of weeping shall no more be heard.". The picture is from one of my many hikes along the trails in Southwest Virginia. I liked the way the line of the trees moved your eyes skyward. You can click on if for a larger version.
