Poet's craft

draw me a picture of golden days
paint me a story of light
sing me a song from my memories
and tell me a story that's right

bring me a vision of freedom
take from me the tale of despair
what will it take to create with my hands
a sculpture of beauty so rare

but art is not my profession
and the stories do not have a name
and all of the songs that I've heard of
often sound to much the same

so away with the paint and the paper
away with the clay and the books
hand me a crystal clear mirror and lets focus more on the looks 

but what do I see
what can it be
well I can be sure its a mystery
with all this creation of a musicians design
why it must be pure poetry.
