How can I write about God in a single color?
God is the deep murky blue green
of the Chesapeake Bay.
The refreshing wholeness
of living, dirty, fish and algae filled water.
The movement of different pieces of life crossing.
The clear breath
of wind across your skin
and the crystal clear water
where the zebra muscles live.
God is the red brown and gray pebbles
under twenty feet of clear water.
God is the dancing red spark
of a campfire.
I imagine God laughs
at being described
as hot like a spark.
God is the orange glow
of the setting sun.
The pale white shimmer
of the full moon.
God's smile is a rainbow
arching gracefully across the sky.
God lives in the pinks and purples and yellows
of flowers and butterflies on a summer day.
God is the lush green
of soft grass in the spring time
and the dry brown
of dust under foot.
Prompt: Pick a color in nature and write a psalm about God in nature.
