God Was Lonely

God Was Lonely

by Harold O Wilson

In the vast emptiness of His perfection

God felt the pain of loneliness

Issued from this great longing

Came forth the heavens and the earth

Waters separated from the dry land

Brought forth fish and all the creatures of the sea

And God saw that it was perfect

But He was still lonely

To sate His great need

The birds of the air

And all creatures of the field

Were brought forth to cover the dry land

And God saw that it was perfect

But even so He was lonely

Driven now by His infinite want

He created man and woman

Male and female He created them

And placed them in a beautiful Garden

And God saw that they were perfect

Yet even in their presence He was lonely

God looked on his heart’s desire

And knowing they were child’s perfection

Forbad that they eat the fruit of the Garden Tree

And they children that they were

Quickly ate of it

When God saw what they had done

He said unto them thou hast eaten

Of the fruit that was forbidden thee

And they being children said

We did not eat of it Lord

Now God raised himself to a great height

But I see at your feet my children

The bitten core of the Apple

Eyes wide they said unto Him

That is not our Apple

And in that lie

Were both born human

God looked gently now

On the children called forth

By His infinite longing

Imperfect He sighed

Finally
