God's Canvas

God's Canvas

A Poem by KATHY SUE SILLS
"

The creation of the world.

"

 

He sat at his canvas, paint brush poised,

waiting for inspiration.

He smiled as he took bright yellow paint with a hint

of orange and made the golden sun with luminous rays.

Light blue and dark blue made the sky, with white

fluffy clouds floating around, this he called day time.

 

His mouth spreaded into a smile as he created different

forms of birds flying gracefully high in the sky.

Some landed on the huge trees with bold trunks.

Green, red, yellow, orange and brown leaves popped

out in vibrant color, giving the brids shelter.

 

He sat back and reviewed his work.

He took some black paint and made the night

with splashes of yellow to make billions of stars,

and a moon to light up the darkness.

 

Below the sky he painted earth.

He added rocks, green patchy grass.

Flowers of various colors sprouted from

the rich soil.

Rainbow colored butterflies dashed about,

along with other bugs and insects.

 

He made big massive oceans.

The waves roared high, splahing  upon

the sandy beaches.

Deep below the surface he added all

sorts of fish to swim about.

 

Feverishly he worked until he created humans.

White, black, mexican, indian, all races he formed.

He sat back to look at his pride and joy, the world.

He was a happy father of all creators until...........

 

He looked below and saw the destruction,

people fighting, killing, hating, stealing.

It was more than he could bare.

love was lost amongs them.

 

Tears streamed down his sadden face,heart shattered.

He sat at his canvas, paint brush poised.

He looked at the world he had created, being destroyed

by the hands of his humans.

He smiled as he decided to paint the end of time.

Oh wow, this is so creative. The font you used here is incredible. God, the greatest artist of all time, the perfect muse to this, a poem that is beautiful and whose full concept is beyond imagination.

a clever, and otherwise inventive write.^

You have done an excellent job with your own paint brush, as you brought into view the creation, very descriptive.
Yes, we are destroyers of all he created, and shameless about it.
Those tears he sheds, are the same kind of tears we would shed, should our homes and children be destroyed. There is a lesson to be learned in what you have written.

I too thought of God as the artist. Great concept and incredibly creative.

This reminds me of waking up in the mountains and seeing the sunrise.
I thought of God as an artist..and wished to capture the colors.
You really brought back memories.

There is a stunning beauty and joy here... it flows through until the dark destruction comes to scar the glorious imagery... What a profoundly rich, deeply moving work.

Well, I don't like the end, (in my perfect world, everyone lays down arms and hugs) but what incredible imagery you've brought to this piece! Very, very well done!
