Chiseled

Cold looking marble delivering heated forms
Masterful devotion shining a brilliant glow,
Muscular detail showed, extinct from norms.
Depicting mercy and faithful devotion to know,

Chiseled by a man with deliverance to show,
From an earthen treasure, he delivered peace.
Though from a tragedy with spiritual flow,
A masterpiece tells a story that will never cease.

Four souls captured so diligently in art.
Molded and shaped by hand so clean.
Capturing the story for anyone’s’ heart.
Standing the ages of time so pristine,

Awakening of spirit of all who will behold,
Expressing gallant finesse his gift as told.
