God's Autograph

I popped through a little hedge and thought I fell into heaven!...

  

...until I came to this;( There won't be No trespassing' signs in Heaven;)

This little lens cannot fully descry

The awesome surfeit of God’s ‘let there be’

His masterpieces filling sod and sky

Amazes our gaze with majesty

We crawl and reach and lean, lie down and laugh

Trying to capture heaven’s autograph

Ah, what is man that God should awe him thus

Again, again He stuns our meager glance

Four seasons worth of wonder drench His brush

No, this is not serendipitous chance

God lets us glimpse the glory of a place

Waiting for all who are saved by His grace

This circle-scope of hello and good-bye

Makes bearable the suffering of sod

As elements of nature testify

In boldest declaration; this is God

We crawl and reach and lean, lie down and laugh

A lens cannot contain God’s autograph

…but oh, the bliss of trying to capture fringes of His signature! Is there anything better?! No.

The way these shadows fell across the gully seemed like they wrote, Yours truly, God.
