Master Painter

Sunset paints the western sky
Brilliant hues of red and purple
Brushstrokes of a Master Painter
Content with His unique art
Masterpiece created with heart

Cactus dotting the horizon
Beneath the descending red sun
Desert sand sprinkles the landscape
Cooling as night slowly creeps in
As His new version begins

Shadows fall across the land
Stretching out in all directions
Transforming into dark beauty
Full moon shines with silver luster
As He splatters star clusters

The Artist designs the whole world
With each single breath He inhales
Exhaling as day shifts to night
Nature waking with the sun
Breathing when night has begun

PB you know me i may go off the trail but food for thought, back in the day I'd paint old victorine houses and bring them back to life, here i see life in all forms in one part of the world, you've opened up my eyes because i can visualize your words as i read it allows to capture the monument in time, when we ask " is there a god the master painter of this beautiful creation. thank you for sharing

I see God as The Master Painter. He creates everything around us. For me it is a more personal feel. I feel more connected to Him thinking about Him creating all the beautiful things in nature. Gives the feeling that He is around us all the time not just sitting on a thrown up in Heaven

[Mauricio Montoya]

I believe there is something greater than ourselves that we yet understand but yearn for acceptance. that's what first came to mind when i read it, there was a typo in my review. thanks PB

We all have our own personal beliefs and thoughts. There is so much out there...

[wordman]

he created the skies for our pleasure,a on going painting

[Poetic Beauty]

Exactly Continually creating surrounding us with vitality and beauty

[wordman]

yes indeed,you`re welcome

[barleygirl]

To me, this is the perfect expression of how God gives us so much, all day long, day after day, yet we self-absorbed self-pitying humans only reach out to blame Him for whatever is happening that makes us have to work at life. Public discourse would be much more unifying if everyone could think in the terms you paint so effusively here (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Poetic Beauty]

Yes I think people would feel more connected to God if they could envision Him as the Master Painter

[lightsong]

such wonderful expressions, but You absolutely made it more than amazingly perfect with your ending verse! well done my friend.

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you. I think I’ve always seen God more as The Master Painter. Connecting to all levels bing things he has created and more personal than our minds tend to think of him

[Poetic Beauty]

Connected to all his living creations

The imagery you create with this truly feels like the most beautiful, brilliant painting that I'm in awe of. The colors. the scenery, the description, all of it is truly lovely. Absolutely gorgeous and it shows the world around that's been created for us, reminds us of why we need to appreciate and take care of this world.

[Poetic Beauty]

It is an amazing world. I’m am glad you enjoyed the imagery of nature painted in this piece. Thank you for taking the time to read my poem. I am glad you enjoyed it

[Vertigo Cat1111]

It was truly my pleasure! (:

“The Artist designs the whole world
With each single breath He inhales
Exhaling as day shifts to night
Nature waking with the sun
Breathing when night has begun “
P.B. You are such a Master Word-Painter! Your unique desert verses are filled with color, imagery, texture, fragrance, light and darkness, mood...the full sensual spectrum. Lovely language, symmetry, cadence, metaphor. Just beautiful homage.

[Poetic Beauty]

For me I have always seen God more as a Master Painter and creator. A more personal connection and I believe he is closer than we picture within our minds. This is just my personal feeling on my faith.

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

Yes, I do too!

[Patricia Wedel]

“Full Moon shines with silver luster...as He splatters Star clusters..” is a charming line.
Your entire poem is glowing with hope and faith.
gently, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

He is the Greatest Artist indeed. We should be so grateful. His inspiration and creation inspired you to write this wonderful poem with many good imagery.

[Poetic Beauty]

I love nature and it’s beauty

[Sami Khalil]

Same here. Enjoy it.

[Dave Brown]

you've done a very nice job with this
I can see the variety of colors spreading across the wide Arizona sky
You will enjoy your holiday visit on the painted desert

[Poetic Beauty]

I’m definitely ready to take a vacation there

[Patricia]

I do love reading descriptive images of the sky, coming up with new and different ways to do it because it has been done so much by everyone not just poets. Sometimes I just want to say it looks like VVG’s Starry Night or something like that cuz I think I am just getting lazy then someone will do a piece like this and I want to try again. This is beautiful and descriptive.

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you. I love to write about nature and the sun although it has been awhile since I wrote one about God and nature together
