A pencil draws a line, and then
the line becomes a bird, a friend,
a door, a dragon, or a star—
and suddenly we\'re somewhere far
from where the artist first began.
A little movement, frame by frame,
can give a drawing life and name;
a painted figure learns to run,
a paper moon becomes the sun,
and still the magic starts with pen.
Clay figures dance beneath the light,
puppets awaken in the night,
while pixels build a world from air
and make impossible things seem there.
The screen goes dark. We dream again.
From ink and paint to moving light,
from hand-drawn worlds to digital flight,
animation reminds us all
that even when the pictures stall,
imagination makes them live.
A pencil draws a line, and then—
the line becomes a world again.
