Painting By Words

I want to describe 
The stars as shimmering skylights 

The wind as a strong breeze 
Of an ocean's freedom 

Butterfly's slow flight 
For the sun's love 

Silently darkened starry night 
At an ocean's calm shore 

A fisherman who has found 
Safe harbor before a strike of a storm 

Mother's loving touch 
Of child's silky hair 

I want to describe 
Power and love of God.
