For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--
his eternal power and divine nature--
have been clearly seen,
being understood from what has been made,
so that people are without excuse.
Dusk was a divine blend of mauve, pink and blue...
He flings fragments of grandeur to the frames of earth and sky
And draws from worship’s wonder the pure homage of ‘oh my’
Oh so much that we wished for disappears as we behold
The beauty from a Troubadour whose art never grows old
He exceeds expectation without stipulation’s fence
The Author of elation showcases His evidence
And extends with His handiwork on sky and land and sea
An open invitation to Creation’s Gallery
Ah, who could afford the price of a daily ‘looking fee’
If God would change his mind and not awe humankind for free
If we needed a ticket to see clouds or sun-moon-stars
Or to feast eyes on the Beauty of earth’s four-season bars
He manifests his qualities, eternal and divine
In the wondrous intricacies of Creation’s design
So that we are without excuse in recognizing He
Who spills His transcendental proof on sky and land and sea
We are treated to glimpses of God’s Supreme Majesty
Ere Heaven stuns the faithful ones with promised wait-and-see
He tells us these are but the outer fringes of His ways
The faintest whispers sparking the prelude to endless praise
