Virgin Terrain

these fingers are bold
these hands gentle
they paint landscape
explore topography

fingers that lovingly outline each contour
hands that tenderly sculpt every surface

fingers that patiently trace each hill
hands that delicately refine every peak

fingers that painstakingly unearth each valley
hands that thoroughly reveal every secret

they create and compose
they paint and draw
very gently, very boldly
going where no man has gone before
