Silver Etchings

Silver Etchings
by Tricia Pattinson

On a slope of emerald
Soon to white
Your clouds drift and shine
Down on this earthly paradise

Like silver etchings
Of:  "I love you all without conditions, My silly children!"
Across a true blue sapphire swath
A blanketing of secure jewelry floating by

Thrown over a sleeping child
Who dreams playing unafraid
In forests and oceans
Your hand has shaped

Who could live without some clouds?
Reminders of unconditional love
Floating along and above

Delicate silver etchings
On a sapphire sky
Masquerading as clouds

Blotting the full nature of the Sun's fire
Prolonging our vision so we might read
With our own eyes Your true message

"I love you all without conditions, My silly children!"

As read from an emerald slope
Soon to be white.

Imagery filled and held together with a positive direction that was impossible to deviate from. Really beautiful and tightly thought out, I appreciate this very much.

To me, this reads as a lovely, mythic allegory of the nature of God.
