God at the Easel

I think I’ll paint the sky today

see if anyone’s watching.

dipping the paint
into the palette 

choosing light blue

and covering the canvas.

Going back to the palette,

this time an amber hue

back to the canvas.

To the palette

this time for the little girls

who love pink

to see if they are paying attention

to God’s grandeur.

Lines cover the canvas,

not lines of symmetry

but more like

swooshes and swashes

as if to proclaim,

I’m painting outside of the lines

and you can, too.

As if saying,

there is not one way to live.

God steps back

And looks at the painting,

That is good.

Today my people

will look at the sky

And say,

it looks like God painted

that sky for me.
