GOD’S ARTS GALLERY
The break of dawn
breath of life
bright blue sky
sunrise
sunshine
sparkling stars
radiant moon
rainfall
nightfall
all designed and sculptured
by God, the Creator,
the aesthetic designer
of the rainbow;
The architect of life.
THE CROSS…
To surrender
One’s royal
Head to be
Crowned with
Thorns, pains
Shame& sorrow…
To surrender one’s royal body
To be stripped of dignity, royalty
Majesty, blood, life and all…
Not on the
Account of
One’s crime;
But for the
Salvation of
Mankind is
The very height
Of love…
