Folabi Oginni Poet Free verse

God is an artist

God is many things
Among those, an artist
The sky, his blank canvas
Sprinkled with hue of varying intensities
The sun 
A golden fiery orb 
Emitting light for all to see
To me, it's pure symbolism of
What Jesus is
And what we should strive to be
To be the light of the world
Not being consumed by the darkness
Of the worldly ones 
I fail, and I stumble
Trying to keep up with society's ideals
Wear this, say that, do this 
It's a controversial thought, but
Let's live how God intended 
Spreading love!!
The moon the sun's faithful partner
The silver glow of the moon 
casts a soft, ethereal light
 over the landscape, 
creating a tranquil ambience
 that invites reflection and peace.
To me, the moon symbolises 
Finding beauty in the darkest of times
Not the vague superficial type of beauty
Only looking at looks for looking sake
None not in any way
But to look upon the beauty of souls
Of hearts and of the mind
Truly I believe
God is an artist

Miranda Hawley March 8, 2025 at 5:21 AM Agreed! God is not just an artist, but He is the Master Artist! I see this every morning as I watch the sun rise and by the way as a bus monitor, I am up early enough most mornings to enjoy a good sunrise, and I see it each time I watch the sunset, a thing I also do. The sky is one of many examples in nature as to how God is The Master Artist. Folabi Oginni March 11, 2025 at 8:03 AM Absolutely! The sky is a perfect example of God’s ever-changing masterpiece. Watching the sunrise must be a beautiful way to start the day! His artistry is everywhere in nature—so awe-inspiring
