God Tripped on a Mountain
Leona Choy
God outdid Himself again!
First He daubed His ruby brush
only on emerald maple tops
teasing them to shyly blush
then rouged their hues
with bolder strokes of scarlet bright
against the autumn cerulean blue
applying saffron-yellow
to catch the lingering rays
before the season’s early wrap
of a frigid starry night.
Suddenly this morning
all nature flamed aglow!
God must have tripped on a mountain
and dropped His palette below:
blazing gold and crimson
splashed on bush and tree
blotching lanes and lawns
spattering his paint recklessly.
Can a painter capture on canvas
such Divine display?
Or I, with feeble words of verse
His magnificence portray?
Creator-Artist-God
is without a peer
each season He paints
an original masterpiece
better than last year!
