Spared Ribs

(Originally posted on Facebook)

For when God had thought to create a man, He made him with clay.

He took from the earth of where we come from and shared him His display.

A pair of eyes to see the beauty of the tallest of trees to the deepest of seas.

He carved out ears to listen to the earth such as the humming of the breeze.

He gifted the sense of feeling, to touch and feel with the heart's rhythm.

He sculpted lips to sing Him praises, and taste the goodness of Him.

On his face, He molded him a nose in order to bring life to man.

A single breath is what it took, He blew into him and that's how it all began.

And life in man flourished, a steward to God's creations on earth.

Yet emptiness grew and the silence was loud from man's birth

For man was still lonely treading the grounds he came forth.

And the sun was not there in the night to provide man warmth.

Seeing this dilemma, God provided him company in every way He can.

He plucked from clouds, made feathery friends that took to the sky for man.

Filled the oceans with animals to disturb the waters' mundane dance.

And created creatures on land that aided His steward on his prance.

Yet it did nothing to alleviate the lonesomeness the fields provided.

Rather, it opened man's eyes to the absence of help as he resided.

So God had put him to a slumber ever so deep due to his somber.

For the longing of man had made him look ghastly, almost macabre.

As the man slept, God opened his chest where his heartache resides.

Upon hearing the heartbeat, he took from his ribs that caused feelings to divide.

From His likeness once more, he took inspiration to create another

With the man's ribs, he took flesh and sculpted a woman unlike any other.

And with this, through the bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh,

The two were now separated like grain and plant through thresh.

Man had become an incomplete symphony as he awoke from his sleep.

And with half of what he used to be, yet never more complete, he weeps.

For no longer was he alone to fathom the wonder of the creations of God,

No longer would he have to single handedly spill sweat and blood.

For there was that to share every experience, every feeling together

With her who would stay faithful and loyal to him, her very partner.

And mayhaps that is but the feeling of longing when I am far from you.

That God took ribs from man for incomplete pieces to go to

That through the union of the two, flesh becomes one and complete.

So one shall traverse across the lands for loneliness to be obsolete.
