Analysis of An Artist Without a Canvas
Flowers so colorful
as a box of crayola crayons
and gardens of flowers with yellow and pinks
tall grass mastered hills and mountains
of greens and browns and light gray
the sky is the limit. with light blue and
white cloud shapes that we as
children saw as unicorns flying high
merging to pastel shades by sunset.
the ocean deep waves are blue with green
and the sand is a tan, with billions of grains
all of these colors and wonders we see
God made with love for you and for me.

About this poem
A spiritual look at life on earth. To put down materialism and absorb our surroundings to what God has given us to withhold and enjoy, to have a lifetime and all he created on earth its beauty, without a canvas or brush.
