Black Canvas

She starts with a black canvas
Then covers it in color
Disguising what lies beneath

Most walk by unaware
Seeing the bright colors
And never grasping
What lies beneath

There is one, however,
Connected by some bond
That can always see
Through the color

He sees what lies beneath
Yet, never judges her
Never thinks ill of her weakness

Instead, he replaces the black
With bright colors of his own
Until the bright canvas is a reality
Without a hint of black

When I was a young man I vowed never to marry until I found the ideal woman. Well, I found her - but, alas, she was waiting for the perfect man. :(

Shan, there is never black, it is shades. Remember as dark as it may seem there is always light. sometimes we need someone to show us, I am glad that she found someone. Enjoyed the read

I really enjoyed this! So glad that someone special knows how to compliment your inner self, your world. A rainbow of promise.
