When I Draw

When I draw,

My pencil's lead is a translator

Which teaches my language

To the world.

When I draw,

The blank page is my brain

Smudges, streaks and shading

My thoughts.

When I draw,

My hand flying like time,

Ideas are being shaped

Like sandcastles at the beach.

When I draw,

The lead on my fingers

Eraser shavings on my shirt

Are words unspoken.

When I draw,

And I show you my picture,

Know that I am showing you

Myself.
