His "take" on all creation and this world
is that it is God's gift to us, a tent,
a place where we can grow, though we're still curled
like foetuses within its walls, and bent.
And of all that he owns, because he thought
it up, and then designed, and made it be,
there is one part that he calls out, he's sought
to not determine, but to make it free
like him, to be good, not as services
and goods are good, designed and made quite well;
but like him, source himself of all that is,
to see more good come out of chaos-hell.
And we're not just his garden plants he likes,
or animals or pets that he might train,
he sees us as his very own small tykes,
so there might be gods on God's earth again.
But not like gods of mortal myth per-chance,
but baby gods who're like the God of gods,
and his own children, who'll learn how to dance
and take the care that's needed with all bods
to now display on this ol' Earth again
the nature of a Power that is love.
That does not shrink from suffering to gain
more comfort for the self, it's like a dove
that harries crows from chicks to, move them on,
give chicks a chance to grow up with their mum.
The story isn't over, hasn't gone.
But that was part of why Jesus had come.
