Art: Pictures And Words

A picture paints a thousand words

And sometimes words are not enough

For pictures go where words cannot follow

And words remain long after pictures fade

 

Pictures are doors to time travel

And words are windows on deep space

Together they map our world of dreaming

And bend perceptions of reality

 

Pictures capture what can be seen

And words release what was hidden

For pictures are creations of the light

And words are born in the womb of darkness

 

Pictures are freeze frames of history

And words are visions of the future

For pictures trap moments in glaciers

And words flow like rivers to the ocean

 

Pictures are mirrors of beauty

And words are tides of feeling

For pictures shine with colours of the sun

And words reflect the mood swings of the moon

 

A word spells a thousand pictures

And sometimes pictures are too few

For words weave the stories of our lifetime

And pictures are cairns along the journey
