THIS BLANK SCREEN
by J. Randal Matheny
This blank screen challenges me to write,
A newborn field, in colorful black and white,
It beckons to venture, to start anew, to soar,
It urges forward, to be and strive for more.
This promising day greets us blank and clean,
To write a blessed story, sketch a scene
Of energetic good and loving deeds,
To sow in patience Johnny's apple seeds.
Make today the day of shining sun,
Though in the darkened heavens there be none;
The heart will fill with light, without a cloud,
And you shall stand above the cowering crowd.
