The Blank Canvas We face blank canvas every day The palette half of misty dream Our mind the brush of interplay The lubricant an oil of seem We paint the day’s reality The cold and hard of how we feel With love and pains finality And dream the night with mighty zeal We mix the two to see the truth A painting that will show the core A painting with the cost of youth A peek into the evermore We put a spy glass to our eye To magnify horizons deep To see the ghost of spirits fly To see the phantom of our keep But low each picture of our day Is but a fraction of our way |

Well, Dear Seymour, something is wrong with my paintbrush. I try so hard to paint a better picture, but my paintbrush seems to have a mind of it's own. |

inkedgoddess What ever your heart desires, it is your paint brush and palette. SmartChick Sometimes we seem to be lost, but then again it is your palette and paint brush. |

Seymour~ You not only do a masterpiece on canvas, you manage to do remarkable word-art~ *HUGLETS* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Sy, To paint in color thoughtful sky, take time to muse and wonder why such beauty blooms in tender face, and love holds eternal place within the heart no matter how our eyes might view the here and now... though length of days may wane and measure, you've found your life in heaven's treasure! thank you for sharing your palette ~ It's lovely!
