Psalm To the Artist

The Lord weaves His grand tapestry across the skies
He outlines charcoal colored clouds with silver threads 
sews the sunlight of dawn into rays that caress the sea
and folds ocean ripples into fans of intricate patterns. 

Each morning God’s canvas awaits His ready hand
a master Artist, His creativity knows no bounds
He dips His brush into the spectrum of rainbows 
like a whirlwind, He mixes and paints dazzling designs. 

God deftly blends pastel shades to greet the rising sun
He sweeps white, cotton clouds that hover over land and sea
He paints the morning light to touch lush liquid waves
and adds violet colored shadows that fade into the horizon. 

His living canvas continually changes its hues and tones
each moment rearranged by heat, wind or sudden storms 
a cornucopia of shapes sweep across the heavens
like rapid time frames that move within an eternal film. 

Will not many among the nations fail to see His mighty wonders? 
Will not many among us look up to relish in His majestic sky?
God’s handiwork daily displays His infinite creation
may we lift up our eyes to behold His unending glory.

Laura, what a blessing to see this poem in the new Soup anthology. It is bookmarked and on my short list of favorite poems in the book, and one I will continue to come back to frequently to drink in the pleasure of your depiction of the majesty and beauty of our Creator's daily handiwork and infinite creation. Praise God!

Poetry true in fact and form written with passion and eloquence. You should be proud of this one especially as it has been written in a time when we need to dig deep to find such beauty and most seem to be looking down not up. Regards as always David in NZ. ps our grandson turns 2 next Tuesday - I don't imagine him losing his sense of wonder.
