Creation haiku

For Merinda

The beginning

no spark shimmers 

on the glass smooth waters –

silent, still, potent

Spirit

hovering, brooding
on endless possibilities –
a choice is made

Light

an intake of breath

a word breathed out – the first

brushstroke of light

God said

sound resounding

light shimmering

God's heart spoken into flesh

Creation

each quivering atom
each questing soul caught up
in God's unending dance
