Portrait a man of the past
|
Future secured by the stroke of a brush
|
Curled around the warm feel of the paint
|
That he trusted so well
|
Set seal on the artist's reply
|
Relayed through the portrait
|
Assessed through the language
|
Of love and emotion, it's true
|
So Picasso lies still, lies still
|
|
Distance, confusion attained
|
Relies on the artist to sign all the portions
|
As neatly as facts of clay
|
That were started so well
|
And so you may find the recluse
|
As busy as days that beset him to paint
|
All the sorrow and pain
|
And the future and wars, sad but true
|
So Picasso lies still, lies still lies still
|
