Oh dear!
Canvas,
You are always there!
Blank or otherwise
I can always look at you
look to you
Love you or hate you…
What a sight
Pleasing or disgusting
You give me a place to be
A space to breathe
Inhale/Exhale
Give or Take
F***
Live /Die there
Where?
Here, there, anywhere on a canvas!
We are never apart
I see, as you see.
I am as you are
Together we are creation
Or is it rather we create
For the sake of Recreation
And or, quite awkward!
When our worlds are wrecked
We find refuge in the one space that says
Here…. Be and behold
I am BRAVE ENOUGH
To stand to hold
To capture your thoughts, misfits and peculiar language
It says
Oh, it my dear
My dear canvas, says
I KNOW
I UNDERSTAND
Now
Scripture that
Parallel that
Call my canvas Universal
Call my canvas music
Call my canvas dance
Call my canvas soul
Call my canvas life
Call my canvas mine
Call my canvas art
I love it!
