No Wonder

Listen!
           Do you hear it?
                                     The dawn arising;
can you feel it, the touch of the Artist’s brush?
Can you see the spectacular coming into being,
                    if but
           for a scintilla of time; mind’s blown
              by the explosion of pink topaz,
                turquoise and emerald skies.
                                And how
                        the yellow diamond
breaks through the atmosphere with its finger-rays
                              reaching out for humanity,
reminders of a new day
        curated by Almighty God,
                the Most High, the meek
                                            and personal
                        unbound abiding arms of the Son,
                 who lights us up 
from the inside-out with the Spirit,
most holy. And the descent of honeysuckle-sweet,
     and the uplift of magnolia-magnificence.
Can you but speak of the awesomeness of hope,
the author of all serendipity, all glory, of life?
                When we’ve adjusted to the light of day,
a dimmer switch gently turns down the sun, dusk
dances on our brains; the moon in masquerade
reveals itself to the nightlife, affecting the mood
of gratitude, reflection of my diurnal walk-through.

tint on the brushes heaven’s collaboration sky-canvas in frame glory after glory and no wonder endless praise

Dear Kim, your description of the birth of dawn and the change of the sky into myriad shades and the fall of night when sun sets in the West and the queen moon appears in the sky are indeed mind blogging. Behind every scene of beauty, you find the magnificence of the Almighty - the creator of heaven and sky. A lovely poem.
