Painter Poem by Carolyn Brunelle

In broad splashes across the sky
a rainbow of color and hue
remains from recent sunset;
a golden moon is on the rise.

A delta breeze moves through the trees
ending a hot summer's day;
a breath of relief for all of nature,
beasts and human alike.

A blanket of twinkling jewels
stretches across the heavens
as if an almighty hand scattered
them horizon to horizon.

I am humbled beneath a mantle of such beauty.
Each masterful stroke this summer's eve
stirs my senses and invokes a reverence
as it paints itself in the skies of my soul.
