Canvas

Virgin white canvas
Offer up your gift of relief
Make me a promise
That I can still feel.

Pale and pure surface
Stretched taunt waiting
Take the first mark
That won't fade in minutes.

Assure me that I'm here
Remind me I'm alive
And allow me to relish in feeling
So much
And nothing at all
At the same time.

A brush of a sharp point
Paint creeping so beautifully
Funny
How easy it is
To go unnoticed.
