Like a skin of the drum – v4


Alive with power, gathered for a purpose
an azure, indigo, violet, black bit of fabric
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
like a skin of a drum, new-born
pulled into position, fastened
stretching the tent of the heavens
