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
