The Canvas Water color pictures and faded memories Are cluttering up my mind And spilling through my eyes. Shades of red and blue Stain my canvas face; Hiding signs of youth And smearing it with age. Diluted by resistance And mental disarray, Memories of my past Reluctantly fade to gray. Faced now with reality, and a vision of what's to come. A new image covers me-- I think I'll despise this one.

Each chapter turns without our permission, without our concern, without our revision... Heard much louder than written. TD |

Some vivid imagery here (I can relate somewhat) but I can't help but see the warmth and glow, the softenening effects of time on a 'portrait' if the brushes were kept flexible when dipped in the paintbox of Life. |

Noooo! Don't despise your image! A person who could write with such beauty is a person who is beautiful from the inside out--and that kind of beauty never fades. Kiss the mirror for me... Earth Angel |

If the colorful brush strokes are our exterior... And the canvas, our soul... Then your cloth Naome, flows with emotion, and evokes passion, like a true masterpiece... Richy |

Diamond, Thank you so much for your thoughfilled words. Everyone of them appreciated. Midnitesun, Thank you for reading and writing. I wrote this as a challenge to myself sometime back. I wanted to try something new. EarthAngel, You are a joy! Thank you for your very kind words. The mirror says thank you too.  Richy, Thank you very much! I am still searching for the painter within. Hopefully soon, I will find her. |
