I see in the distance before me,
A picture worthy to behold,
Painted in colors of such beauty,
In colors yet untold,
For there lies an ocean beyond my shore ,
As far as my eyes can see,
Bathed in the light of the setting sun,
A magical golden sea.
Soft clouds drift by, adorning the sky,
Each with its own design,
Arranged with colors as on an artist’s palette,
Colors that boggle my mind.
A ship that I can hardly see looms on the horizon,
Floating on so vast a sea it’s like a toy,
Enveloped in a haze of purple colors,
Bringing dreams of far off lands as a boy.
A seagull silhouetted by the setting sun,
Knowing now its day is done,
Slowly gracefully flies my way,
Looking for night a place to stay.
I stand there in a momentary silence,
The picture that I see impressed upon my mind,
I wonder if God painted this picture just for me,
A gift for me that’s only mine. |
