Etched

Etched upon my mind A masterpiece has begun A first draft of a portrait Upon its wall has sprung. Features chiseled so fine By the masterful hands Of an unseen artist's sight Into a world only he comprehends. Made aware to my puzzled eyes Unable to see nothing else, For it all disappeared, as if buried alive And a new vision has printed itself. As he continues his work Not able to stop until finished Its life has crept into my world My heart, by its warmth, ravished. By CarolineCecile Copyright © 04.19.10

This poem is actually not about art. Art or masterpiece is a metaphor here for a face becoming present in my mind. :) Thanks for reading everyone.

I guess I was confusing the end with the beginning. At first I thought it was your imagination and at the end I thought it was actually an artist because you said "he". Sorry I can't always get poems! It's still a cool poem to read and try to envision. Luv, andrea

Artwork (even crafts of the soul) can have a profound effect on those who witness it. Very beautifully written poem that allows the reader to feel your sensitivity, Caroline. Love, Carolyn
