A Poet And A Painter Poem by Lau Jane

I want to draw but i cannot
so i paint pictures through my words
portraits of the past, things that last,

a picture may fade but images are engraved
in the mind of ones amazement.

those pictures, tell stories that will be remembered,
a vision for the future, that can change ideas
and influence people with their truths

a painter is great and one i wish i was
but i do what i can with what i am given.
I am not ground enough to be living
but i am free enough to tell tales

i am free to be me and you will see great ideas that will
fill your mind
if you
are free also
