Benediction

The sun be warm and kind

To you,

The darkest night, some star

Shine through,

The dullest morn

A radiance brew,

And when dusk comes –

God’s hand

To you.

I spent a wonderfully quiet day at the easel finishing today’s painting, which was inspired by a photo I took at sunset on the first day of spring.
