für Elise

She is the picture.

She is the film – the canvas.

She is the camera.

She is the flash,

of dazzling, illuminating light

that fills the room.

She is the button.

She is the lens.

She is the photographer

and the model -

the inspiration and the inspired;

the artist and her muse;

the creator and her masterpiece.

She is the picture.

And the world around it.

She is the picture.

She is the world.
