PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Every moment,

each breath we take is

but another textured tile

added to life’s mosaic.



Colored ceramic pieces

align in a sequence

outlined by the Artist,

developing into

a perfectly-planned pattern.



But we choose which tiles

to hold carefully in place

and which to discard

and also what kind of plaster

we decide to employ.



Grouted by hands

stained from experience,

each piece is affixed

to the canvas- some delicately,

others forcefully.



Crevices are filled

with cemented wisdom

as the Artist wipes clean

excess mortar with expertise.



And at our last breath,

we evaluate the artwork,

determining it was a masterpiece

that could only have been

created by God’s hands.

Each breath we take
is but another
textured tile to be added
to life’s mosaic.

Ceramic pieces align
in a sequence outlined
by the Artist, developing into
a perfectly-planned pattern.

But we are allowed to choose
which tiles to hold
carefully in place
and which to discard.

Grouted by hands
stained from experience,
each piece is affixed
to the canvas.

Crevices are filled with
cemented wisdom as
the Artist wipes clean
excess mortar.

And at our last breath,
we evaluate the artwork,
determining it was a masterpiece
created by God’s hands.
