# God’s Blue Throne

"Let there be light," He said, and there was light.1

The scattered sparks flew each its willful way.

(Up to us, the sparks to reunite.)

And there was evening, darkness renamed night,2

And there was morning on that unique day3

"Let there be light," He said, and there was light.

The spheres that held them shattered.4  Sparks in flight

Now fled in hell-bent scattered disarray.

(Up to us, the sparks to reunite.)5

How glorious stretched eternity, and bright.

How pure and perfect past and future lay.

"Let there be light," He said, and there was light.

But pure and perfect bore within it blight;

Eternity proved mother to decay.

(Up to us, the sparks to reunite.)

Or is this greater glory, recondite,

A co-creating part for us to play?

"Let there be light," He said, and there was light.

(Up to us, the sparks to reunite.)
