Artisan

Ridges ablaze, mountaintops are on fire

Ornamented with magenta and gold

Adorned in formal evening attire

Puffed with bursting accents of marigold.

Blown from broiling furnaces of molten glass

Erubescent hues dance and fuse fiercely

Skillfully crafted in a master class

Settling into streaks of luxury.

Oils layered like a painter’s pallet.

Strokes of sapphire cast with well worn brushes.

Colorful clouds covering like a blanket

Moving with the ever-changing canvas.

The artisan of the sunsets abounds

In creativity, God’s presence resounds.
