RELIGION Poem: SPOKEN, by Mari Fitz-Wynn

And God stepped out on space,
And he looked around and said:
I’m lonely–
I’ll make me a world. —James Weldon Johnson

SPOKEN

Long before earth, or mountains, oceans
or sky, sun, moon, and stars,
horses, pigs, Prairie dogs, lamb, and
fish, whales, crocodiles, shrimp,
the Aspens, evergreens, palms, redwoods, oaks,
or eagles, sparrows, hawks and finches
termites, moths, worms, or cockroaches,
Dahlias, lilies, sunflowers, roses or weeds;
Long before man and woman, boys and girls;
three words crackled through the atmosphere,
splitting atoms and molecules and scattering quarks,
forming galaxies and universes,
“LET THERE BE.”
