SKY
“Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.
Genesis 1: 6-8
And there was Sky
As words are spoken
So the world is formed
Once, wild wonder unleashed
A star crowded canopy
Charged with undiscovered knowing,
And called it sky.
Light diffused and blues emanated
In countless shades
And blended hues,
A breadth of curious space,
Shifting, volatile, untameable,
Stirring imagination.
This expanse of mystery
Without borders,
Raising our gaze heavenward
Evoking questions,
Magnificence and magnitude,
Shifting perspectives.
Stop
Look
Breathe
Know
We are dust and spirit,
Heart and soul,
And we are named,
Called into being
By the one who is
Word and Wisdom,
The maker of earth
And sky.
