Poem Artwork

Swept under a massive
sky is when I feel my
most vulnerable.  When

the sun sets, when storms growl
across endless prairies
is when I realize

the Plains are greater than
small, insignificant
me - and I am humbled.

Aren't we ALL humbled by the grandness of the Creator's majesty? At least we SHOULD all be, as you so clearly are in this lovely piece.
You are getting to be as fine a photographer as you are a poet, Karla!

Humility is a cloak that is refreshing, especially when it is real. Your heart sings sweetly to the Creator here dear Karla. The cloud looks like it has a headlight. (-:

Those Plains skies are awe inspiring, for this is when you see God's beauty (and anger in storm) perfectly, with nothing to block your view! Very well penned, Karla; brava!
