Red hues beyond the land
Fire in the sky as twilight is
Painted by God’s hand.
Graying dark clouds musty
Against the sky. A magic
Scene no one can deny.
Imagine when the world
Was new. With clouds so
White and sky so blue.
Do you think God is outraged?
At how we have changed his world?

I love this poem because it just reminds me of a Georgia O’Keefe painting. Or rather, what she must have been looking at for inspiration. Taking mental pictures of every flower, ever thing in the desert. And then deifying it in a painting that was literally larger in life. Good luck with future writing and thank you so much for the follow!

Thank you, Georgia was born and raised only 8 miles from where I live, I also paint and I am a great fan of her work, her life story. I am happy that you enjoyed this piece and thank you for reading. Ann
