Creation

In the beginning was
You
Just you
Not me
Or them
No 'us'
Just you

Love
Enormous, vast love
So immense
Unable to remain
Static; contained

So, your love burst forth
to create
An outpouring
of you
to form the universe
A birthing of your best
Extravagant
Redolent
Expressive

And this is why
the smallest hidden detail
in all nature
is beautiful
Exquisite
Eye-catching
It was - it is -
You
A part of you
But you did not
finish the job

Just the start of something
A canvas to be added to
And in your love
your generosity
Bounty
You gently
Reverently
formed life
Us
Flesh of your flesh
Loved into existence
And called to be
co-creators
in this place
Designed to share
the beauty and the love
And to multiply it
Extend it
To create of ourselves
with you
