Under a Painted Sky

We sit in our castles
under a painted sky.
Who painted it anyway,
and why, oh, why?
Was it created for  you and me,
a rare glimpse into eternity?
Or was it a spectacular show of glory,
just another page in the story?
Was it to fill a little time or space,
so the world would slow its hectic pace?
To wonder, to ponder
the mysterious plan,
of the Creator who has us all
in the palm of His hand.
Whatever the reason,
it's good to see 
that the Artist took time
to paint something for me!
