What tender touch formed butterflies And rosy petals drenched with dew? What artist painted morning skies, Composed, carved, sketched, sculpted, and drew? The same arm flung the stars like sand; His shoulders thrust up Everest. A word, mere word – sun’s flame was fanned; Sequoias, beasts - and earth was dressed. Soft rabbit’s fur, rough rhino’s hide; Wee hummingbird; giant dinosaur; The same hand made the hawk to glide That made the mighty ocean roar. Twas One created great and small, He with a fist and tender touch - The God of wrath who’ll judge us all The God of love we love so much. ------------------------------------------- photo by r hyland ------------------------------------------- © Dennis Lange and thebardonthehill.wordpress.com, 2012.

Very nice. Cheers.
Dennis, this is a beautiful poem of Creation, I love the title, too. Really well written. ~ Julie 🙂
Thanks, and thanks to all for the kind comments.
I love this mighty poem, written with such heart and inspired hand. Linda (the font was a bit small and difficult to read, did you realize that?) This poem is so beautiful I would love for the sight of it to be larger!!:-D
Thanks! I realized the font was changing due to the circumstances I described in my reply to Sandra. I’ll work on it with WordPress help and see what I can do.
Awesome poem my friend.
Thanks!
Superb work , Dennis! The evocative imagery and tone stir the deep places of the soul and literally draw worship out of the reader. Poetry at its best!
I noticed the smaller font that Linda mentioned as well. And I’ve noticed on my own sites that sometimes the font doesn’t come out the same all the time. I’ve started writing most of my things on a document page and setting the font exactly as I want it. Then I just copy and paste it into the post page. It comes out right about 95% of the time.
Thanks for sharing the beauty today.
I do that, with most of my files in Word, then transferred to Notepad, then copied and pasted from there to WordPress. And that was working fine with the font and with the spacing of lines UNTIL my computer decided to upgrade my computer to the latest browser (9?). Now, when I do that, I have to space each line and the indentions for verses doesn’t hold. So, I use preformat. Well, that changes the font and perhaps the size as well. I’ll talk to WordPress help and see what I can do. 😦
Isn’t technology an exciting and wonder thing?!#%*!????? About the time we get something working just great, we get an “upgrade” (NOT!)
Anyway, it did not detract from the beauty of your work.
!!#@***$#@@@! Yes, it’s wonderful. 😦 🙂 I posted another poem just now, one of Tennyson’s, and I bolded the letters, hoping that will help until I get something else figured out. Thanks for your comment about the poem.
I just noticed that this message does not show that I am following your site, but I know I am, and I get the e-mail notice. But I realized the other day that the notice came in on the e-mail address for my other blog — the Hangin’ Out With God site. So I must have clicked the “Follow” button on that site, but not this one. Well, now I’m clicking it on this one too. That way, I’ll get the notice in both e-mails, and you’ll get a another “follower” added to your list.
How did that jingle go about DoubleMint gum? – double the pleasure, double the fun? 🙂
