My Portrait

What if my portrait was never painted
How different would it be if the brush never touch the canvas 
Would the exhibit of the world be effected or even notice 
The brush lay barren and frayed  
A composition of colors never mixed
The foreground forever lost in the artist's imagination 
Complex beauty lost to time
A idea wasted
Potential Pigment still sat in vibrant petals 
Canvas never primed or lay to an easel 
How different would it be if the brush never touched the canvas
If my portrait was never painted, would it be better?
