God Opened His Hands

God opened his hands

scattering grains of sand

through outstretched fingers

laying the foundation

for the dancing waves

of the cerulean sea.

Foaming his love

in laps of passion

into the arms

of the waiting shore.

Sparkling radiant light

illuminates ocean vistas

stretching to the unknown.

A new beginning dawns

awakening the morning

washing the tarnish

off our drowsy bodies

replenishing and repairing

turmoils of the past.

Of this, we can be sure:

The sun arises

as did the Son

peeking over horizon

holding arms open

welcoming daybreak.

Soft hazy pigments

inviting us back

from the darkened night.

In the evening

the sun clothes its aura,

resplendent in its

coat of many colors,

kisses us goodnight

is tucked into dreams

safe in midnight pigment

illuminated by myriad stars.
