Based on the last few chapters of Job Oh God! How can we stand this Beauty of Yours!? All the Universe is a Masterpiece… A Work of Art to be enjoyed: Beauty hidden within Beauty And Joy beyond Comprehension! Look at the Stars! Those fiery Lights! Their size and width and span! We cannot even describe their power Or guess at the planets in their midst! Every Planet is a painting by the Lord, A Masterpiece! Every Star is a Diamond of God A Work of Art, A Jewel of the Universe. A Treasure: Cut fine and sharp and priceless! Each is a Masterpiece.. For He made them. A Beauty for His Fingers touched them. He made the velvet darkness And set them whirling in its folds, He kissed the Suns And smoothed the Moons And spun the Galaxies like tops! Who stretched out the bounds of infinity. And spread out the blazing Stars of Space? Who blew His breath and the Galaxies parted? Who spread His arms and the Lights became? And commands the Energy of the Stars? Who whirled His Cloud and the cycles started? Who commanded and Life became Out of the Waters and the Starlight. Till it occupied the lands? Who caused the Matter and the Antimatter? And formed the Mighty Peoples of the stars? And Who wove the Dimensions in and out? Who knit the whirling Worlds together? And Who tied the warps of the Galaxies For all the eons of Time? Who made the spiraling rings of Saturn? And the red spot on Mighty Jupiter? By Whose laws was the ice of Neptune frozen fast? And the lands of Venus changed to steam Whose waters carved the steep canyons of Mars? And Whose Hands hurled out the Asteroids? Who knows the insides of every Planet And the Inhabitants of all? How was it done when He made the Light? Every rod and ray of it? And set out the pattern and the length of its rays So all colors belong to it? How was the Ameba given Life When out of the cosmic Seas it came? Who gave it the Spirit of an Adventurer And the Will for it to venture onward? For it could live just as it was But it chose to complicate itself. So He directed the reins of Evolution. And controlled the strings of destiny As if Life were a Proud Horse And fate a golden Chariot. Where are the warps to other dimensions And how many exist in the estates of God? Who sweeps the steps of the Galaxies? And Who clears the portals of Time? Can Time race on beside itself? Or double back at the whims of Life? Can it be haltered like a Horse Or bridled like the Wind? Where are the spawning grounds of Stars? Where do they go when they return? Forming again the substance of Life Life a Phoenix out of the Fires? What scales do you measure a Universe with? What balance the realms of Infinity? How many planets of Life are there And how many Galaxies exist? Who made the tumbling Moons of Mars? And the ancient Peoples of the Stars? Older than a thousand Suns Before they were, HE was! Where are the ways of nothingness? And where does nothing have its home? At the end of everything And the place of no existence? When will the gates of Love be opened So we may eat at the Tables of Peace? And Who caused Chaos to form Out of the blowing Winds and the Tempests? Who caused the regalness of Winds And the order to its laws? What is faster than the Lights Or wetter still than the stormy Seas? Where is Up? And where is Down? And where is the Middle of Everything? Who bounds up the edge of Infinity? Or ties a cord on Knowledge? What is the edge of Eternity? What is the end of Forever? Show me a cage that catches the Wind And holds it firmly in its midst Though it howls and snarls and growls Seeking to be let loose! Who taught the tiny Ants to build Or gave them strength beyond their size? Lifting up things beyond their weight And carrying them in their jaws. Teach me the songs The Great Whales sing On lonely nights In the Phosphorus Seas To while away the ageless times And sing their joy to God? Who made the Beasts of long ago? Those Giants of the ancient world Whose necks reared up into the sky! Whose teeth glittered in the Sun like traps! Whose eyes blazed red with the seeds of ANGER! While Mammals huddled by their feet And Insects darted by their heads. Their way was one Of power and strength. They felt themselves lords of all Creation. They were MASTERS of the swamps! They were KINGS over all the Earth! Yet because they grew too proud God smote them; Making them lie down forever in the dust of the Earth: So the tiny ones who huddled in their shadows Now own the lands They trampled on. For He said, "It is good that the gentle should inherit the Earth! So He proved His will by doing it. As it is done so will it be done. For His laws are everlasting Forever the gentle will reign That the offspring of the frightened May walk with confidence. Who has made the Jungle Cat That walks like a shadow in the jungles? Who pads the dust of the Earth on silent paws? When he roars all the Wild Beasts fear him! Who has made the jungle lands of small? Those grasslands where the Amoebas graze? Which no naked eye has seen Or perceived the vastness in their midst? Search out the debts of the smallest particle; Penetrate its mysteries deep inside. See the vastness in its smallness; And the infinity in its form! Go into the tiniest particle; Find the smallest of all things; And the infinitely smallest piece of matter; Do this if you can! Slow down the mighty tachyon! Put a bridle on its form! Hitch your Starships to its tail And use it for your source of speed. Break through the walls of all dimensions; Enter Infinity with a smile. Use it as your living room and be Immortal like a 'god.' Run races across the Galaxies Colored like eternal Star-sets Inlaid with gold and precious silver Set upon the velvet vastness; The Jewel Box of the Lord! Feel the Winds of Stars upon your back Let out your sails and travel onward, Speed until Infinity is reached. Be like the Mighty Lord of Hosts! Do this if you can! Bring forth the Matter and the Antimatter! Touch them; control them if you can! Make them Slaves to push your starships Throughout the giant carousel of Space! Hear the Music of the Spheres The ancient Pulsar's static; Deneb's ode and Sirius's songs: Andromeda's orchestra of fiery power! Among these all a tiny few; Sing the song with sense. Have you seen the Cathedrals of the Oceans? Those places were the Kelp ballet? Where Fishes hide in deep green caves; Cool and dark and wet? Where Moray Eels snap gleaming teeth; And Sunlight's rays soar down Lighting darting Fishes' dance? Those waving Pastures of the Seas Where cheerful Otters play? Number the kinds of many Plankton! See the multitudes of their form! Count the kinds of life their are; Those shining ones of the seas! And worship Him who shaped their forms; Who molded them to be His own; To bring Glory to His Name, And Love to His Deliverance. Who has made the soaring Pigeon; To adorn the ugly towers with beauty To give them grace beyond their strength; And beauty beyond their form? Where are the Comets spawned? In the coldness of black inky Space? Where are they born? Those streaking orbs of fiery gases Those nomads of the bright Sun's World; Where are they formed When He said, "Let them become"? Who would tell the Angel's secret? Where is the Planet of the Angels? Where is the fiery Messenger's World? Oh which Sphere did THEY evolve from? Where is the place of THEIR Star? Was their Star the Christmas Star? Was it set ablaze for us? Did one celestial place's Nova Bring Light to another? Was the Nova of one System's Star The Sunrise of another? Like the setting loose of Atom's Power Does knowledge flood Infinity? Does the dying light of One World's end Bring forth the dawning new? Go into the Ocean's darkness; The blackness of the crushing Waters; Space has Stars to light it; Not so here! Here be monsters... Gaping jaws with needle teeth! Glowing eyes in endless night! Leviathans of the awesome depths! Rahabs of reality! Can you stand it where these live? Will you make your home there? Go to the Moon: She will welcome you; Not so Earth's own Oceans! The Planet that we own We can not conquer! What bounds up the edge of the Universe? And what is beyond it? What is its center? And where is its ending? And where is the place of its beginning? Where do the Quasars end? When He made the Universe and set it spinning. The Planets orbiting. And the Galaxies whirling? Dizzy dance of Infinity. Where were you when He made the Atoms? Little Worlds around small Stars. For Time does not stand still But continues onwards At different rates at different speeds. What is Man among this? What is the smallest And what is the largest? And where do all things end?
