 Empty Canvas ~

 

as empty as it gets,

I stare and feel the color embrace me.

The abstract feelings that wanted to

come out yet still trapped within me.

 

I stare on the blank canvas,

Feeling the courage fading,

Losing my mind into vivid colors

      -   Just in thoughts…

Not being able to express them

Is just like making myself aware

that I have no talent in what so ever…

 

Did I lose my confidence that seeks?

Did I lose the passion that burns?

Did I lose my heart that shines?

 

Perhaps the cloud of doubt

    blurs many things…


Perhaps the road of uncertainties

    confuses many decisions…

 

Perhaps the water of creation

    is running dry…


I am losing myself,

     almost giving-up into death’s hands…


Yet…


I won’t give up,

Mastering the strength of what’s left

To find the muse of life

To keep me going a lifetime…

Author's Note

Pax
I was contemplating to come back or to completely closed my account, but I don't want to give up to the creativity I find releasing and uplifting for my soul and heart.

I owe the inspiration of this piece to this photo:
I can't paint

It is what I feel when I can't be creative, there is this urge to create within me or within us all. I think every artist knows that. It's been long, I haven't drawn or paint, I guess i really missed that.

Your creativity will never give up on you.

Incidentally, from what I've seen or your work, I think you're a wonderful painter.

Thank you so much Marie. I hope it doesn't weather dry that much...
I think the artist, if there is something that needs to be expressed, will find a way, somehow... It seems to take a muse of some form though, and perhaps a place with those with whom we want our pieces to be shared, to make these things find thier shape and be born and finished... It makes me wonder, in my own silence, what pieces are missing... a need for expression or the muse or the shared place... Anyway, I hope you have reawakened with this profound questioning piece, so honest and digging deep for this needed lifetime craft... Your words have weight and are needed and you have been a dear dear friend, so I am so glad you decided to remain here...

Amazing artwork and poetry my friend.
"Did I lose my confidence that seeks?
Did I lose the passion that burns?
Did I lose my heart that shines?"
Easy to lose confident. Sometime we must get up and face the world we live in. I like the strong description leading to the logical ending. No weakness in the outstanding poetry.

Same to you Pax. And you are welcome :)
i truly liked the photo/painting. there's so much colorful inspirations/lessons we can take from our surroundings and even from ourselves but we overlooked to see them and thus, we tend to look on an empty canvass. Life is a muse in itself. Nicely penned. Happy holidays!

You are creative and you are also an inspiration to so many whether you know it or not. You don't know how your words will touch someone and affect them in a good way.
