Life On Canvas

Each line has a life 
     As it glides across canvas,
         Creating a world 
               Of its own.
Every stroke of the brush
     An extension of soul,
          As the artist selects
               The next tone.

The blending of colors,
     The depth of the shade.
          Shadows suggest
               The unknown.
There is softness and texture,
     Warmth to be felt.
          A heart that should not 
                Be alone.

It's a child that reaches
      For love and affection,
           Crawling until
                It can stand.
Constantly changing 
      From its conception,
            Until the last stroke
                 Of the hand.
