the canvas of faith

My faith is written
in pastel hues,
a globe tilting
to Fall.

Each day we walk
the halls,
a gallery of art.

Pink and purples brush
their mark,
a canvas up on high.

Creation paints a picture
and tells on the heart.

Nature's exhibition
appoints it every day,
an invitation start.

You only need but look,
the hidden made it known,
a signature each one.

Art only is
what the Artist makes,
an Author for all work.

But should you need
faith to believe,
a look is only part.

For sunset plays a glorious tune
and sure melody,
a Composer's manuscript.

And every beat of nature's drum
courses invisible time,
a physical evidence.

But if  you'd peer beyond
the grasses stringy strand,
to plant a lone, small seed,
this mustard of believe
see each green witness
their testimony stand
to grow over
unbelief,
a faith across the land.


"For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers.." Colossians 1:16

  1. Hoping to plant "mustard of belief" in small ways this week. A beautiful poem--thank you!

Let's share. Because of time-management, most days I don't reply to comments. But every precious one feels like we're at the table chatting. Sometimes they're read in the oddest of places, via my phone. And if you blog, I can assure you, I looked you up and lurked your words.
