When God came down

When God came down , the rivers overflowed

Great trees were floating ,angled and exposed

The houses broke up like a loaf to crumbs

The hearts of humans trembled till they hummed

The winds deceived, the gusts unmeasured stung

The churchbells shuddered then untimely rang

The power was cut and all our screens were dark

Where were the rulers, where the saving Ark?

The women giving birth were paralysed

The babies in the womb took ill and died

Their cradles rocked the world, they swung so fast

And in a moment all of life had passed

In the void, God started his new world

Rich and strange, the grit and then the pearls
