The Canvas Remains Empty

The Final Portrait, unable to be finished The brush left alone, Gathering dust. The Canvas remains empty Such a shame That Art Cannot Be expressed, nor put in words. An image fades Disapearing Inspiration Canvas stays empty, mighty brush stays cold Summer ends. Dull nothingness Fall's embrace persues And the old man thinks, wishes perhaps. The brush is grabed, And a new line is drawn
