The Canvas
The universe a canvas
The creator
Opens the heavens
Light shines down
Colors swirl.
Life breaths into the openness
Time pauses as clouds are splashed across the horizon-
Where heaven touches earth.
Heaven reaching down
Streaming in shades of indescribable glory.
Time dissolved,
Changing.
Evolving.
Glowing.
The vast prairies bathed in golden hues
Warm orange melting to yellow and pink as the day draws to a close.
The earth, stilled
Silence sneaks in.
Darkness envelopes-
The end unfolds
Yet doesn't totally unravel
Slivers of new light
Whispers of hope
Warm with life
Glowing with promise.
Relentless.
Breaking the dark barriers
Shattering the silence.
Like the tide coming in,
The sun flows over the land.
Flooding the shadows
Revealing all that was hidden
Washing it clean
Restoring the brokenness
Making it new.
Warming.
Encouraging growth.
Opening wide,
Reaching,
Yearning for the heavens.
Pausing,
Waiting.
Trusting.
The creator reaches down
Love flows,
Life is breathed out
From the heavens
And covers the earth.
Inspired during a walk along the dike west of town. I looked up, and the clouds looked like they had been painted across the blue blue sky with a paint brush- dabbed here and there. Written May, 2015.
