In The Beginning

 

Bright stars He placed with feathered Hand,
in skies of azure that were without light.
Each one caused the heaven's to expand,
to prove of His greatness and His might.
This beauty brought to His eyes delight,
as He looked with love across all the land.
Of His new creation He did write,
and of a world He solely manned.

Author notes

Artwork by Gilbert Williams

I know this is of merlin, I guess, but I saw God placing the stars one by one...beginning of this world. So, thus my write.
(even though I don't like the crystal ball...hehe)
