Painted Morning

quote by Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Painted morning first light
shadow brush of dawn
what great art paint the raven
within whose beak holds the worm
while perched on growing branch is nature
as light is what it touches time and again

painted picture for all behold
the raven painted in thought and deed
the worm painted, the fruit, the seed
sighted and painted these things so become
painted day of dreams come true
knowledge of heaven’s art brush away darkness

painted seed of tree with fruit to bear
painted earth-heaven-self painted in care
multi-colored art shining light through window
upon houses of the holy which dwell within
our angels cannot enter a house without window
a church not receive light when left unopened
a painting of heart is God’s Masterpiece
master of peace painter extraordinaire

painted church of light with sky blue see
cloudless perception both inside and out
waves painted of healing light
ripple true this lovely creation
passage painted through transition
resurrection painting salvation
painted creation for recreation
as brush moves seamlessly
across endless canvas
God painted today
