In order to grasp your beauty
I must use the oldest of my tools
The new ones hold no honor
And hold no true worth to your beauty
As do my crisp and brittle paint brushes.
They may not paint as well as they used to
But they have come with ages of wisdom
Used by my father, and his before
I hold them to you with glee,
My crisp and brittle paint brushes.
The portrait almost finished now,
but the product may not seem complete.
My brushes have fallen ill to use
And are fighting against defeat,
My crisp and brittle paint brushes.
There, now have your look
As I have completed a work of art
One that goes beyond a masterpiece,
Disagree as you must
though the scratches bare truth to your perfection
My broken, hallowed paint brushes.
