From Dark Clouds to Hope


Dark grey clouds blanket the sky

an ominous sign for the coming day

But shafts of light cut through

the bleakness to proclaim

hope can prevail




A Master Artist’s Handiwork


Heaven is declaring God’s glory;

the sky is proclaiming his handiwork. (Psalm 19:1 CEB)


High in the sky, unseen by the naked eye

drifts colorful nebula gas that creates 

patterns beyond what can be imagined


Cosmic blasts of dust swirl 

as the illumination from the sun 

helps to produce a lightshow 

only seen on Earth with the aid 

of a space telescope


Stunning images of star clusters

distant planets and galaxies

show a solar system only

a Master Artist can paint

with a perfection no human

can imitate or envision




Pretend Time


Piano keys produce an effortless tune

with the flip of a switch and the push

of a button by a little one who then

pretends to be an accomplished pianist

playing a familiar song on his toy
