Master Painter

Sunset paints the western sky
Brilliant hues of red and purple
Brushstrokes of a Master Painter
Content with His unique art
Masterpiece created with heart

Cactus dotting the horizon
Beneath the descending red sun
Desert sand sprinkles the landscape
Cooling as night slowly creeps in
As His new version begins

Shadows fall across the land
Stretching out in all directions
Transforming into dark beauty
Full moon shines with silver luster
As He splatters star clusters

The Artist designs the whole world
With each single breath He inhales
Exhaling as day shifts to night
Nature waking with the sun
Breathing when night has begun

PB you know me i may go off the trail but food for thought, back in the day I'd paint old victorine houses and bring them back to life, here i see life in all forms in one part of the world, you've opened up my eyes because i can visualize your words as i read it allows to capture the monument in time, when we ask " is there a god the master painter of this beautiful creation. thank you for sharing

I see God as The Master Painter. He creates everything around us. For me it is a more personal feel. I feel more connected to Him thinking about Him creating all the beautiful things in nature. Gives the feeling that He is around us all the time not just sitting on a thrown up in Heaven

[Mauricio Montoya]

I believe there is something greater than ourselves that we yet understand but yearn for acceptance. that's what first came to mind when i read it, there was a typo in my review. thanks PB

We all have our own personal beliefs and thoughts. There is so much out there...

[Ken Simm.]

It is obvious why I chose this one to view and write about. Masterly descriptions from someone aside to the painter and observing what he sees through his eyes rather than their own. excellent piece.

[Poetic Beauty]

I’m glad you took this away from the descriptions in the poem. It’s a great way to look at this poem.

When I wrote this poem I had envisioned God painting and creating the world. I often see God this way.

Beautiful and wonderful words dear friend. I love the artwork of nature. When I go to the lakes. I wait for the sunset. I love when the sun kisses the sea. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

I love sunset and sunrises but I only see sunrises when I stay up long enough lol I’m a night owl by nature

[Poetic Beauty]

I love how this poem turned out. I hadn’t written a poem about God in a long time and this idea just came to mind.

[Coyote Poetry]

I take photos of the sun falling when I am near the sea or lake. So beautiful and good morning from Michigan,

[Poetic Beauty]

I love sunset in general and will randomly take picture with my phone of them

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

This poem has natural beauty. Watching that sky come together was pure magic.
It took me away.

[Poetic Beauty]

I’m glad this poem was able to take you away. That’s what all writers ultimately hope for

[Neville]

............ What a delightful picture you have created from words ....... nicely done and truly ..

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you. I really like how this poem turned out

[Neville]

you are most welcome :)

[Relic]

I recall seeing some beautiful skies in Wyoming when I visited there. Your poem reminds me of those wonderous sights.

Great poem.

[Poetic Beauty]

I am glad my poem was able to have you remember when you went to Wyoming and the beautiful skies there. Thank you kindly

[Robert Trakofler]

inhales the day and exhales the night:) I like that respiring beauty into a portrait is a lovely image!

[Poetic Beauty]

Those are my favorites lines in this poem as well. I’m glad you liked the portrait

[Pete]

a breathtaking scene. an existential piece - i love it. i was there experiencing it through your very descriptive and well chosen words. you've captured the scene so well. the master sure does nice work with his palette of creation... :)

[Poetic Beauty]

Yes that he does

[John the Baptist]

Very descriptive piece here, full of images of nature's beauty. Some of the scenes we often take for granted do come across as the masterpieces of a Great Artist. Liked the way the scenes are depicted here as part of an ongoing cycle.

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you. I see God as a Master Painter. For me it gives a closer more personal connection. That he is here painting his creations every hour around us like the air all the time.

[Betty Hermelee]

This is amazing and I love it because it is so visual like a painting, colors, shadows, washes, dark light, and everything a master painter can express and you have created this in your poetry.... keep sprinkling the landscape!
Really lovely,
Best, Betty
PS I am a painter as well

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you kindly. I love to add color sound smells all the senses in when I write

[Tate Morgan]

Memories Of times I spent out west are pretty vivid when I read this. Makes me wanna go back

[Poetic Beauty]

I’m glad this brought back memories of out west. I have not been to Arizona yet but I have been dreaming about it since a dear person I know moved back home about 10 years ago. I am seriously saving to go on vacation there this year and have a visit with my friend. It’s long over due
