Pictures
A picture's worth a thousand words I'm told
What words can't begin to describe
The way I think, the way I feel
What my heart sees through my eyes.
The picture seems so lifeless
Tainted with color and fingerprints
Smudges gleam the glossy surface
The message seems to shine through, though.
Stories are told
Lives begin, tales unfold
Scenes emerge in my mind
Creating images that last forever.
Memories glide through my head
Rummaging, flashing like bulbs
On and off they turn inside
Moving swiftly on.
The notebook closes
My folder's shut
All I can see now
Are pictures fresh and ready.
Waiting for color
Waiting for truth
Waiting for their lives to start.
