My Masterpiece

I wish I could paint
I wish I could draw
I wish that my work
Would leave you in awe

I wish I could color
Emotions and dreams
Give shape to my visions
And shade to my schemes

Perhaps I will someday
Take paper and pen
And draw something special
But until then

My rainbow is simple
In greys, blacks, and blues
My pen is my paintbrush,
My words are my hues

The world is my easle
The page is my canvas
My dreams are the colors
Above and around us

My heart is my vision
It fuels all my dreams
And though they look simple
They aren't as they seem

My life is the subject
I sit down to paint
And pen touching parchment
I know I can't taint

This canvas, these colors,
Because - don't you see? -
The works I'm creating
Are perfectly Me
