Inhale my soul,  
infuse it with your molten light,
Worship of no slavery,
I will channel your might,
Ultimate  destruction. Ultimate  Creation.
You surely made us,  
You will one day end us.

All is made of your frequency,
emitted from your single eye,
Your our primary dependency,  
exploding in the sky.
Many more than a few,  but we may only ever know you,
dots in void of night,  
are no reason for us to skew,
the blessed godliness of who,
dragged our molecular ancestors,
out of blackened nothingness.

Drew us spiralling into a cataclysmic astral forging,
for us to,  react, impact, impact to make anew,
neighbouring spherical bodies joined us,
as we morphed into bio soup,
bacterial mist, chemical reactions,
slowly growing green,
 your biological contraption.

Not 7 days,  but maybe to you,
experimented in a billion ways,  
dabbling every hue,
consciousness growing tyhrough the maze,
one sense at a time,  vibrant gorgeous wonder in its prime,
lucious godly garden,  
your glistening trailing terrarium,
expanding developing elysium.


Creatures decay to harden,  
apocalypse to test the best,
law of the astral plane,
fossilized, buried and pressed,
only to start a fresh.
Emergent from frozen glass,
 bipedal, winged and swimming,
meteor showers had passed,
now with life we are brimming,
a curious ape stand tall,  
conscious hearing your call,
mimicing the planetary kin,  
grasping fruit, sharp rocks and flame,
the godly element we learned to tame,
lucid in the sensory animal game.

Tens of thousands of years to struggle,
around blazing twigs we'd huddle,  
catch our reflection in a puddle,
our origin and meaning elusive,  
seemingly our self pondery exclusive,
positioned highest burning brightest,  
nothing or everything to know,
a gift of novelty greatest you'd bestow,  
the seeds of plants we'd toll and sow,
heavenly light allows them to grow.

You are in everything,  
your creation could be anything,
your light inside our minds,  
manifest in infinite kinds,
I praise thee for all we know,  
all our experience to you we owe,
i beseech you to never stop to glow,
supernova into the universe we'll echo.
