Behold the Writer
Derrick E Carey 1981 (Sarasota)
So much has been lost to time.
But only in time
Is everything remembered?
A picture can be painted.
Or drawn.
A script can be written or spoken.
But the depth to their meaning
And understanding
Can be lost in translation.
But what the writer describes
Is realistic.
It draws you into an alternate reality.
Of its own truth
