" A HIGHER POWER "

This is my first post on Creation Conversations.  It is in poetic form, which is a form of conversation.  The title called "A Higher Power" is what I believe everyone who contemplates the natural world and beyond our planet much come to know that there must be, even if they have no religious background.  Believing the biblical account of creation, that "higher power" to me is my Creator, Jesus Christ, in His pre-incarnate essence.  I want to leave "NO" doubt about that!  The "design" that is in the cosmos is not the result of blind, random, mindless forces.  "I AM THAT I AM" is the First CauseWho is self-existent and transcendent over all His creation.  He is not called Almighty God for nothing.  If we will just believe God's Word in the special creation account of Genesis without reading into it or altering it to fit in with or compromise due to intimidation by faulty scientific assertions to the contrary, it will bring greater peace, happiness and satisfaction than being toss about by every wave of doctrine that Paul warned Timothy to be on guard against.

" A Higher Power "

If beauty is its own reward,

Than glance ye about and see;

In nature it to record

A real treasure horde,

And truth be told in one accord

All admit it strikes a chord

Of something higher--than we.

A flower

Is a good example

For a sample

This silent power;

And lightening, too, arrests our thoughts

Like in a whirlwind

Our mind spins

Wondering about origins.

What languare this...the birds singing

And the pounding surf conspire?

Makes my being

Clang like a bell ringing,

And sets my soul on fire,

While given to contemplating

What these portents inspire.

The heavens above also do prod,

Its billions and billions of stars

Far removed from this earthly sod,

Where glalaxies spiral beyond reach

And nearby shines planet Mars:

Surely this has something to teach.

So, man to not shrink

At wonders that make you blink;

Do ponder why you wink.

Do you see a link?

Face yourself! Imbibe. Drink.

What do "YOU" think?

Sunrises and sunsets

And moon phases do sign:

The planets, their satellites, the constellations, the comets,

Moving with precision that is divine:

A synchronized ballet keeping perfect time!

But, back to earth; do concede

This world too is filled with design;

Do natural laws only--define,

Or are they only signs that precede

A higher power to conceive?

Captain your own ship

And hark,

To know what "You" should speak,

Despite what others say, follow your own chart.

Be not meek.

Is there a Divine Creator or just eternal mindless matter?

Do not let your boat sink!
