Psalm 92:4-5a The Message: "You made me so happy, God. I saw your work and I shouted for joy. How magnificent your work, God!"
Pacific Rim Sunset
by Marlene Depler
Silently, I sit in my front row seat
on the edge of the earth
where land converges with sky and sea
Sinking sun shimmers over crashing waves
as the Master Painter takes the stage
He lifts his brush to the canvas
pink and then lavender--
wide pastel strokes across the heavens
Next he adds bold highlights
of orange and plum
then smudges the rocks and trees
into black silhouettes
Hushed I admire the beauty
of the evening masterpiece
until the sea swallows the sun
Just when I think He is finished
He dips his brush in gold
signing his work with a simple cresent moon
My heart cries out as I jump to my feet,
"Bravo!" "Encore!"
He bows and waves, "Perhaps tomorrow."
