The Picture

The picture starts off blank. 
The picture forms in lead.
The picture defines in charcoal.
The picture lives in colours.
The picture is never dead.

The picture can tell its story.
The picture that never speaks.
The picture disguises sorrows.
The picture never sleeps.

The picture could be a history.
The picture could be a song.
The picture could be words unspoken.
The picture could be a saviour.
The picture could just be wrong.

The picture I see of you. 
The picture you see of me.
The picture commands our thoughts 
of what the picture wants us to see.
