The Joys of Nature

He painted the ocean 
in fifty shades of green and blue
with his mighty paintbrush of perfection! 

He sculpted a garden of coral reefs 
and barrier reefs for us to see
with his powerful chisel of praise! 

He sketched the outlines
of slithering bonefish and Nassau Groupers, 
and sneaky Spiny Lobsters and humpback whales
with his graphite pencil of glory! 

He shaded the colors of gliding dolphins
drifting sea lions and green turtles
and soaring stingrays
with his pastel sticks of righteousness! 

He crafted a collage 
of magical starfish, sand dollars, seahorses
conch shells, oysters, clams and seaweed
with his scissors, glue 
and construction paper of greatness!
