Like the skin of a drum – v2

Stretching a piece of living fabric
out of the nothingness of space
in grading, shades and colors,
tailing from our sight, to infinity

Hues of azure, indigo, violet, black
bits of living fabric, taut,
shimmering, sequined, bejeweled canvas
like the new skin of a drum
pulled into position, new music to come

Hands of God, pulling, drawing
stretching the tent of the heavens
over the dome, the foundation
God’s design, the framework of creation

A living canvas, an intricate creation
the arc of the heavenly firmament
conjured from nothing, everything,
seeking to show us majesty, God’s glory

shooting stars across a night sky
