If I were God
And wanted to make my human subjects
gape in awe
Gasp in breathlessness
Lift their hearts and voices in my praise
Remember that they
Were keepers of a covenant with me
I wouldn't hang a rainbow
Delicate and fragile
Wispy and ephemeral.
I would fill the sky with bold rich color
I would throw paint to the horizons.
I would send glory.
I would let them wonder what was light
and what was flame.
As the sky blazed magnificently
And then crept down into darkness.
