The motion of a pen
The stroke of a brush
There’s magic in making something from dust
Some shading here
A bit of detail there
Can you feel how it tingles the air?
Words of a story
Lines of paint
An artist’s creation
Something published or framed
Do the best you can
To put your mind on the page
A drawing of characters
A scene full of rage
There’s magic in it all
When time is taken
Imagination is yours to awaken
Beloved and known
Your own creation
Someday you’ll hold it all your own
Whether picture or dictation
Published or framed
For the world to see
Believe in the magic
And it’ll be
A little faith and trust go a long way
Enjoy your creation
Seize the day!
With the motion of a pen
Or the stroke of a brush
There’s magic in making something from dust
