Thank you, Anni. Maybe I'm a masochist because I do like making things difficult for myself. I considered rhyming each line as well, but that was a bridge too far. Perhaps next time...
Consider the wide sky above,
the great emptiness overhead,
yet He paints it broadly with love
from foggy grey to evening red;
such care upon a mere backdrop,
He scatters celestial fires,
all this to bring us to full stop,
to lift us above our desires.
