That Picture

A pencil, paper, and a picture.

A simple idea; pick something and draw it.

But it is so much more.

Each line is a mood,

Each shade is a feeling.

Even in black, white, and grey,

I see a whole new world,

With new colors, textures, and sounds.

And when I am done, I am filled with emotion.

Everyone sees the great detail,

But to them it is only a drawing.

What they don't see is that picture,

Yes, a simple picture of a flower, dog,

Or even another person,

That picture, is me.
