Sharing The Wondrous View...

The artist stood and mused a while, The painting almost done, The humour of it made him smile, This time he had such fun... The details captured here and there, The colours vibrant, too, His genius shone everywhere, God always helped him through... Of course, he prayed before each start, The canvas white and pure And in itself a work of art Before he added more... The scenery that set the stage, The blue skies spreading wide, The sun still shining age-to-age And thus no place to hide... That's how God's beauties were displayed, The mountains, plains and streams, The gentle creatures unafraid, Some dozing in their dreams... And so, the artist did his best, To share that beauty, too, So that each buyer was impressed At such a wondrous view... Denis Martindale October 2017.
