Thought
Heavens, earth and interspace
Divided only for our sake
Silhouettes hail curtain call
Sea and land before nightfall
Farewell in gorgeous gold array
The sun is gone until next day
Brushwork crossing lines agree
Land’s flora looking out to sea
Every wave swell has its down
Every smiling beam a frown
Rising sun brings hopeful dawn
Ending with its rays withdrawn
Waking life fortunes and ills
Like undulating floating hills
Processing past the eye unseen
As they do in sleep and dream.
Prayer
O Lord Thou art the glory displayed before my very eyes and Thou the eye that sees. Grant that I may always use the sensitivity to beauty where all life is a prayer of stillness in the midst of Thy scenery changes. O infinite witness of unending glory!
