A short poem
by Bill Stark
Creation Came
Creation came and ushered life
A newfound day with na’ry strife
A golden world, divinely made,
A gift to cherish, not to fade.
Then I saw a dimmer light
And sudden did it change my plight
Great fear and doubts came all around
Then toiled in vein upon the ground.
Then a rising came to me
A wave of love then turned to glee
I must now die to have this life
I must resign from all my strife.
Now my life reverberates
And opens lofty, wondrous gates
From heaven where great love is spilled
And covers me, now life fulfilled.
Parishioner Bill Stark has recently published a collection of poetry, Divine Intersections, available on Amazon and wherever books are sold.
