Conjured Thinking



inhale the crisp air of a flowing existence
expand your mind and view this world from a distance
with an open mind and driving persistence
try to imagine who created mother nature and the ecosystem
try to imagine who created the gift that keeps on giving
who created the living?
the mountains, birds that fly
trees that intermingle with the sky
the flower that withers and dies
decomposes back into the earth
to create another living organism
trying to survive
water that thrives
in a current-carrying abundance of life

the cycle of life
predator and prey
hunt by day, eaten by night
scour every crevice on this planet
to find meaning
find every species as its handed
hand you a greeting as its leaving

paintbrush in hand visuals set so perfectly
the creator of this painting is just the scratch on the surface
all this beauty has a beautiful purpose
keep an open mind finding the purpose is worth it
as a species in existence from a purpose that was sought
can you realize none of this was given
and none of this was bought
where did this come from?
the answer is simple once your attention is caught
while your attention is at a crossroads
attempt to walk the bridge all the way across
then could it possibly cross your mind
all this was conjured from a thought?

    You are right, all that exists in our world to day came about by the spoken Word of God !
    God created everything by His voice
    And God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed life unto him and he became a living soul !
    Genesis 1 & 2 is exciting to read !
