: Angel's Sprinkling Gold Dust by JLR
Artwork by donnadiann at FanArtReview.com

Once a sphere was covered with dust
accumulated over the ages devoid of life
seen simply revolving in the emptiness of space.

Suddenly, silvery splintery, and glittery
strands of light began to flow over this
distant orb.

Seen like the color of
a grey unwashed stone, then turning
into a broad beam of shining silver
that seemed to twist and turn over the
surface as dust storms soaked the sphere
in a cloak of silver satin, star-lit specks.

When the scene settled about this sphere
a resounding bang rang around the innumerable
galaxies as God, in his numinous presence
breathed Life into this Orb and formed
from this cosmic dust ball, a planet called Earth.

Over a stretch of time, the Creator gave instructions
to a great number of angelic beings
to sprinkle gold dust on the Earth
and to the moon and back
which became the stars where Angels live.

So, if you must ... Let the dust settle in your space,
But, if you must leave a cloud of dust behind,
Remember ... God still calls on his Angels
sprinkling
gold dust to brighten up things.
