Dear Creator, Wise God

LaTanaya Burch

 

Of all the wonders you’ve created,
The sky and I are the closest.
My eyes find nothing greater than this work of your nature.
An existence that is imitated by many,
But perfected only by One.
What inspired you,
To make the dusk so dramatically intense?
How did you know that the colors
Would touch someone’s soul,
Would cause and artist to try to duplicate,
Or a photographer to attempt to capture?
And may I ask you
What this feels like in the eyes of the blind?
If the sky above were just one thought in your mind,
I wonder what the other ones look like . . .
