God's Handiwork (Shadorma)

rrodriguez

Mountains, Lakes

Are joined together--

Glorify,

Mighty God;

Summoning your spirit to soar

To the high heavens.

 

Mountains love

The butterfly-blue lakes;

They reflect

His handiwork.

A spectacle of God’s Glory

Bob Ross cannot match.

    Awesome write

  • Michael Edwards

    A great write - I must add that Bob Ross was not a favourite artist of mine but he was able to capture realism.

    • rrodriguez

      Really, why wasn't he a favorite of yours? And, by the way, thank for your comment.

    • rrodriguez

      I'm not an art critic nor I know what to look for in a painting. I just love mountains, lakes, and nature scenes.

      Interesting form, new to me, thanks for that. Terrific painting, who cares why or how? It is beautiful.
      I think you did a great job expressing the majesty portrayed. You gave it a life it might not, otherwise, have. The elusive handiwork of Nature surely outshines any attempt by Man to capture it. Great poem - Phil A.

      • rrodriguez

        Phil A., you've expressed it correctly... That's they point of the poem. In this case, I believe that God is the creator as Ps. 19:1 says, "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands."
