touch of an artist's stroke

God’s creation rightly try to portray,

Essence refined, it’s contours emerge

When theology with ink smears converge

Darkened smudges, pencil scratches array

Upon white and starkly empty Bristol.

Hidden magic the soul deeply render.

Erase, re-draw, the paper he does cover

Hatching creates shapes of charcoal.

Rhythms sweet of life inspire. Artist

Skilled to mimic details’ linear form

Magic enhances the typical norm.

Opus to illustrate with echoing twist.

Inspiration brings to life the order,

Sharpened graphite manifests the wonder.

Just a doodle, now a gesture semblance.

Only an artist could write that. :-) I don't claim to "get" poetry (especially the non-rhyming kind) but I like this. Thanks for sharing it.
