Canvas

A Story by benjammingham

A love story about art ;)

She looks at the whiteness
the blankess
the vastness
of the giant CANVAS in front of her.

She ponders
and wonders
thunder clouds
darkening her mood

She scolds herself.
She cant afford to be negative.

She scratches her head.
Reassembles the edge
of the paper
before her

The paints
sit and wait
waiting for inspiration
that continues to evade.

Suddenly the phone
rings and scares her
because she's alone
and wasnt prepared for

The voice that she heard
A boy from earlier
And just the one simple word

Hello

The tone and expression
gave life and impression
his confession of depression
of life without her

Her heat; the CANVAS
Started to fill
With the art of feelings
That she knew were real

And the picture
came alive
her inspiration revived
a new fire in her eyes

He was the muse
yes she would use
his love as the fuse
to light up her life

Satisfied she walked
away and talked
with the boy
who filled the CANVAs
with his joy
