Like a skin of the drum – v3

A bit of fabric, moving

azure, indigo, violet, blackness

living, shimmering, sequined

like a new skin of a drum

pulled into position, new music

hands of God, pulling, drawing

stretching the tent of the heavens

over the dome, the foundation

God’s design, the framework of creation

living, arc of the heavenly firmament

seeking to show us majesty, God’s glory

shooting stars across the night sky

etched into its surface, permanent while fleeting

a sound reverberating, a skin resounding

the drum of the dome, moving

over the foundation, the earth
