Fingerprints in The Wind
A poem I wrote inspired by nature, trying to comprehend an unseen God, observing his identification in amazing actions throughout the world and awesome transformations of people's lives.
Links with wind/air/nature and identifying this force by its visual effects. I hope the concept of that comes out in the poem.
I am unsure and I am quite new to this kind of poetry/creative writing so please can I have feedback and advice.Cheers!
Poem:
Wondering in this maze of roads and buildings towering over me
the city, once a God given concept, now twisted and torn
Feel separated from my father in a busy crowd unable to see
the fear of being lost, running scared I am tired and worn
Steered upon a new path leading me to fields of green
I see ripples in the water, the long grass swaying, rustling of leaves
like fingerprints in the wind, forces unknown and unseen
a force felt all around us, what a beautiful and delicate life he weaves
I no longer feel lost, here in this sanctuary of peace and love
I sit and marvel at his creation, comforted in his hands
my worries are blown away with the spirit of God above
yearning to walk with him far across the lands
Whatever trials lay ahead, whatever hardship is in store
I will walk back to this place of green, where my thoughts are free
in company of ducks and chirping birds, watching them fly and soar
just like fingerprints in the wind, once unseen, now so clearly I see.

Second poster for the 'Typographic Bible Verse Posters' (not a very snazzy name, I know). Black background.
his verse was submitted by Vicky Curry. Please feel free to suggest bible verses that particularly speak to you and if I can think of a way to visually express/represent it then I’ll do it!
This one is from John 3.21 and it reads ‘whoever lives by the truth will come into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God’.
I had in mind a tunnel or a light in the dark. Visually representing light and dark actions the the heavy contrast. The radial distortion comes from how it isn’t easy to live by the truth and clarity/answers can be hard to achieve/grasp.
The three colour options are just me showing the vibrance of the piece but also that it isn’t seen as a negative/dark take on a bible verse as I get so much joy and inspiration from them. That is the whole point of the poster series.
Plus I can be in decisive so I would love your thoughts on your favourite colours and suggestions welcome.
Again, I will make a screen print of this so it’s not the final piece as of yet. The colour background will be paper stock.
Cheers

Ask, Seek, Knock – Screen print - Orange
Screen printed typographic poster for my current bible verse series. Matthew 7:7.
Ok, I changed it a lot. I did actually do a screen printed run of the poster before. Just like the digital version already posted here. The texture that I applied didn’t work on the screen print, it just filled in on the mesh. Plus it looked like poor and grainy.
So I flipped the layout and took away the texture, leaving only the natural texture of the screen print and the pressure applied.
All in all. I am very happy with the result and it does the job of inspiration/banner/motto that I had intended. As this bible verse is very evocative to me.
I have around 10 of the orange and 10 of the blue on 130gsm paper, let me know if you want one.
