And Now For the Third Poem Response

The Greatest Artist

-Udiah (witness to Yah)

God is the Greatest Artist
To whom no one can compare,
Streaking sunsets very beautiful,
Painting rainbows in the air.

Brushing green the hillside scene,
Blotting blue the sky above,
Splashing flowers 'cross the ground beneath,
Shading white clouds with His glove.

Of the wonders God has made
There is none that is so fair
As the smile He paints upon your face
When you realize He's there.

              Have you ever watched someone's face when they realize God really is there? Or watched them descibe a moment where God acted in their life, and they just don't have the words to express how amazing it was? If they're anything like me, they get excited about it! And that smile... It's a smile that comes from pure joy! They've seen Jesus!! It's a smile that comes from trying to describe an indescribable experience.
But, it's more than the smile... It's the eyes too. Something about those two features, our lips and our eyes... they tell our soul to the world. It's never just our eyes that tear up, it's also our lips which quaver just the slightest. It's never just our lips that laugh! But our eyes also are fixed on whatever the cause of laughter may be, squinting just the slightest, joy seeming to shine from them. When we lie about how we feel, usually we can fake it with our lips... smile when we're supposed to, maintain composure when it's appropriate, all those sorts of things. But our eyes tend to give it all away, at least, to the people who know us well.
           Isn't that amazing though? How two seperate features that look so totally different can work together to expess a single emotion. Emotions can't be felt by anyone on the outside, emotions can't be seen, thoughts can't be felt, these things only exist within the one experiencing them. But, through the beauty of facial expression, we can show one another what we alone can feel! Without words, without gestures, but simply by giving a look... and then they'll know...
          I've liked this poem for a good long while. Not because it's perfect-- Personally, I don't like a couple of the word placements, and the flow of the poem itself could be improved-- But the core of the poem is beautiful. That moment of realization that the God of the Universe has had His Hands in your life is a moment of true beauty. And God most certainly is the Greatest Artist....
