The Writer, the Artist and the Poet

the writer writes their story on the
                                                               empty lines.
                                          the artist paints and draws on the
                                                               blank canvas.
                                          the poet writes their words on the
                                                               blank ages.
                                          the empty lines now filled with the
                                                               writer's story.
                                          the blank canvas  filled with colors of 
                                                                the artist beauty.
                                          the blank pages filled by the poet's hand
                                                                with music.
