The Creator

He lit a match to the sun and it filled with yellow fire he dropped a tear on a landscape the colour was sapphire. He drew a circle in the night sky in a backround of sparkling dots he put a colour in each eye and gave angels, wings to fly. He gave a beat to each heart gave us light to turn off the dark built a canvas for our paint carved statues of saints. He gave a noise to each sound a tune to each note concrete to every ground a mind to each vote. He shaped mountains for us to climb he greened a crisp valley Put ears to a grapevine and a count to each talley. He flew a kite to each wind a sail to every wave sunsets to be dimmed and gave courage to the brave. He composed a song for each bird an enchant to every forest letters for each word the sun, rain and mist. He coloured flesh to each skin an expression to each face time to each clock and a tick to each tock.
