The colours of the Day

The first shafts of light

Began to stretch across the Eastern sky.

A new day had begun.

Purple, blue, pink

Slowly they stretched across the arc of the sky

Like gentle strokes of a paintbrush.

Their brilliance advanced.

A night became day.

The white fluffy clouds

Danced and floated like lambs frolicking.

As the morning advanced.

The azure blue spread

Like a brilliant blanket in all directions.

Then midday arrived.

The blazing yellow sun

Sent its light, warmth and radiance

Pulsating in all directions.

The full power of its heat

Burning back the clouds.

As if shouting

“Look at me, feel me, enjoy me.”

As the day moved

Into late afternoon.

The hazy hues of late afternoon

Exploded into the evening.

When purples, vibrant reds, dusky yellows

And finally inky darkness

Closed another day.

The loud quietness of the day was over.

Only to be repeated

In another explosion of colour, Tomorrow.

From dark grey to blazing yellow.

Why such extravagance?

Because He can.

Our Heavenly Father uses our Earth

As His personal paintbox.

He creates a different explosion every day.

We just need to look up and enjoy

The Tapestry.

Thank you, Creator God.
