There was a time when vibrant colours
Would flow from her fingertips,
Endlessly on the blank canvas
Creating a picture so vivid.There would be art all around her
Colours bursting as she traversed.
Unmarked territories, uncharted waters
But never leave a blank canvas.One day changed it all
The door shut behind her.
Days and months and years went by,
Yet no sign of her colours.Time had passed, quite an ample
When she pushed through the door
Into a nostalgic moor,
A floor of dust, under her sandals.Yet her fingers reached for
The delicate brushes, again.
Painting the canvas,
In brilliant hues of red.Strokes after strokes,
She thought it'd fill the void
Burned into her mind, in her heart
She became terrified.A step back, so she could perceive
The blank canvases, with ideas concealed.
But the colours came back, never again
All washed away, in the pouring rain.✦
an artist's biggest fear, you ask?
a blank canvas.Vote|Comment|Share
