HAIKU FROM THE FIRST BOOK OF TIHE BIBLE

In the beginning
God made heaven and the earth.
He saw the darkness.

He spoke and brought light
To separate night from day
And saw it was good.

He made firmament
In the midst of the waters,
And called it Heaven.

Then dry land appeared
And God called the dry land Earth
And saw it was good.

God made evening
And morning on the third day,
And signs for seasons,

And vegetation,
And lights in the firmament,
And saw it was good.

Then God filled the Earth.
He made man in His own image,
And the animals.

"Be fruitful," He said,
And He blessed all things on Earth
Because they were good.

And then God rested
And the seventh day was blessed,
Creation complete.

God took seven days
To show His Magnificence,
And lo it was good,
