The Lord God Thought (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(in answer to Bernard Odendaal)

The Lord God thought and spoke and it was,
it's unthinkable that everything comes from the omnipotence of one being,
when an uncountable number of systems did fit perfectly into each other,
whirling matter in the all pivoted around gravitation axles,
glistening stars did suddenly everywhere flame and bunch together:
star-clouds, radiating-spirals, star-heaps and star-groups did form,
when words left supernovas, clouds of gas, red- and super-giants,
explosions appeared like one gigantic terrible storm,
when suddenly planets, moons asteroids did get their own scope,
when atmospheres, liquids, solids and life did come
but man He created to His own image in clay,
did blow the breath of life into him and was astonished
and in His master plan were thoughts of you and me,
of people that like a father He wants to draw into His arms.
