Sunset paints pink, then magenta, then navy blue up the sky
At twilight she points her telescope and waits with eyes lifted high
The realm of void darkens, out arises a sea of diamonds
Swimming in the Milky Way, illuminating the horizon
As a vast universe projects itself into her starlit eyes
A silent cinema of creation plays in her mind
A film titled “Genesis” when the Creator spoke and there was light
And the morning stars sang as He set fire to the night
The celestial song of the glorious beginning echoes in her imagination
The darkest corners of her being light up to the orchestra of constellations
This grand Composer of space and time, into eternity sings her name
This eternal Artist of beauty and light paints mercy over her shame
For if the canvas of stars above her is art, then salvation, His masterpiece
And if He has begun a piece of art, someday it will be complete
Someday she would stand upon stars reflected perfectly on a sea of glass
Someday, between sky and sea,
Would she embrace her Saviour at last.
