ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER@
This watercolor pencil drawing draws us into the Yellowstone valley and the magnificent falls that has become so familiar in Paul’s art. I have never been able to master the art of water falling over rocks and crashing to the end of its destination. It takes great skill to do this. The detail in this piece of art amazes me.
Raging ice turns into water,
Crashing,
Rolling over jagged rock,
Bubbling and steaming,
As it falls to still waters below,
The finger of God,
Pushing it ever forward,
Cutting through granite,
With only His touch,
As in days of old,
When waters poured down from the sky,
Pushing up from the ground,
Flooding the entire earth,
Only a few survivors,
But enough to begin again,
In that flood,
God spilled His tears,
Over a fallen world,
But didn’t give up on it,
He provided a way out,
Carving new channels,
Scenic bluffs,
Canyons and pathways,
Filling the old,
with new,
Renewal,
Restoration,
Revival,
Rebirth,
A new covenant,
Never again would the world,
Be destroyed by water.
