I'm joining other brave writers at Five Minute Friday over at Lisa Jo Baker's blog. The idea is to write for five minutes straight. No edits. No backtracking. Just pure writing for the fun of it. Won't you join in the fun? Today's prompt is: MESS.
GO
The Artist looked down at his canvas.
It was dark.
It was
formless and void, but he had plans for it.
Oh, he had big, big plans.
It didn’t
take any effort at all, just words and the canvas had light.
Then, the Artist
began adding colors. So many colors that don’t even fit on an ordinary color
wheel.
Colors of magenta and indigo and peachy and pinks and all manner of
colors. He splashed them on his canvas in a lavish fashion.
He didn’t have to
be careful about it because he is the perfect One and even his most messy
artist ways are perfect.
It may look a mess to us, but from his angle,
his
artist canvas, his masterpiece, is perfect
as he is.
He decorated his canvas in ways that are beyond human
comprehension. His canvas stretches as far as our eyes can see. We can’t even
fathom the depth, the riches, the love, that he has put into his art.
We take after him, yes we do.
We are creative and artistic beings that bear his image.
We bear his likeness and we can create beautiful things out of nothing really,
just as he created beautiful things out of dust.
He created us.
Beauty.
Love.
Lavish artistic array.
He created it all
with perfection. He made all of what we see and experience out of the mess of
darkness.
STOP
