I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil.

Isaiah 45:7 (KJV)

Creator of Heaven and Earth, of all that is,
Seen and unseen
Is seen
In the faces of flowers,
In music and musings,
In galaxies beyond,
And tender love,

Creator of Heaven and Earth, of all that is,
Seen and unseen
Is seen
In grand vistas and small details,
In cobalt blue skies,
In nourishing rains,
And life itself.

Creator of Heaven and Earth, of all that is,
Seen and Unseen
Is seen
In genocide,
In war,
In fires and floods,
And suffering.

Creator of Heaven and Earth, of all that is,
Seen and Unseen
Is
Not stepping in.
People are off the rails,
The earth burns,
And people die.

Creator of Heaven and Earth, of all that is,
Seen and Unseen
Is
The miracle of life,
The suffering of death,
Neither benevolent nor malicious,
The indifference of physics,
And the passage of time.,
A universe that simply IS.

Creator of Heaven and Earth, of all that is,
Seen and unseen,
Will not rescue us,
Will not save us.

Be kind anyway.
Love anyway.
Help anyway.
In all ways,
Seen and unseen.
