OBSERVER* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ God breathes fire into the day, a swirl of flaming pinks, inky blues, blistering reds. If I could crack the code, the mystery would be lost, the romance shattered. It is the tentacles of mystery that grip my soul and imagination, a reminder. God did all the work. I am just the observer. *This poem was written for and submitted to Central Texas Writers Society; it appears in its recent anthology titled ‘Gods and Religion.’ This is my original poem.

It’s a beautiful, contemplative piece — vivid colors pull you in, and the ending lands softly but powerfully. I like how it blends awe with humility.
