Gods from Disney’s Hercules
(Touching on religion and creation here. Let’s see what happens.)
Genderless being
Both of one body
And an army of forms
It stands
Amid the beginning
Waiting for time
Balls of light
Burst into existence
Firing elements
Into the greatest void
Where they coalesce
Into orbs of grandeur
The being searches
Following a dream
Choosing
From among the globes
A single ball of dirt
Beautiful to its eyes
Creatures stir
Nurtured by its essence
While feeding its great will
They join in symbiosis
Until the being grows old
Decaying to the ground
Last ounce of strength
Pushed upon its death
Toward an imperfect beast
Helping it grow
To rule the world
Powered by ancient essence
The beasts excel
Their numbers flood the landscapes
Adopting dreams
Like their benefactor
Touching on a truth
That always evades their grasp
Time passes on
While the beasts evolve
Deciding on the makers
Naming them
When they had no name
Or any sense of self
Pantheons erupt
To give a sense of birth
They touch on its vast forms
Resurrecting it
As a horde of natural divas
That erode as time moves on
Another view takes hold
As the pantheons disband
The solitary benefactor
Focusing on the body
That housed its power
And granted it to others
The beasts continue
Through the countless years
Evolving their maker
And changing it
To suit their dreams
Granting it an endless life
Legends of Windemere 
A creative explanation of the views of various cultures (Greek and Roman mythology in particular since the illustration comes from Hercules) concerning creation and the ensuing cycles that result. I believe in a God who created me, rather than me creating Him. 😊

It is a curious question though. Since humans aren’t supposed to comprehend God, are the ones we’ve worshipped over the years made by us of us by them? Could all of them be right and be a part of the ephemeral being watching us through history?

This poem reads like an ancient classic. Well done.

Your last stanza is quite something. The worshipers change the deity to serve their own dreams. The opposite of what a lot of people probably think, but still pretty powerful.
