Picture me, picture you.
A picture's worth a thousand words--it's true!
Picture pixels dancing through,
Myriad colors, shades, and hue.
Picture lifetimes brought to view,
A thousand pictures, give or take afew.
A fading memory of lives longlost.
A picture worth keeping, valued farbeyond its cost.
A picture is as old as the caves ofman,
Drawn to gain power over the unknown.
Draw a picture with words if you can,
The reader will need mind's eye tofill in.
The gaps that words cannot describe,
Like time erases the stone carver'sscribe.
Picture a memory so vivid and true,
That lasts only the lifetime of me oryou.
Pictures on paper, canvas and stone,
Will eventually fade until they areunknown.
But when a picture is electronicallycoded,
It can be copied and transportedwithout being eroded.
To dance through the ether until theend of time,
Recovered in an instant, like new andso fine.
