Hide The Canvas

Empty Canvas
Lift the brush and draw
Stoke after stroke
Color fills in
Take the shape, take the look
Paint a masterpiece or paint the sin?
Tonight there is a choice
Be what is thought of the art
Be what it is
Is there a difference?

To say yes is to admit
Created by a fake artist
Painting pictures that will never be true
To get what it wants
What it is after
Leave the painting incomplete
Move on to the next
Everything it wants
But nothing it needs

To say no is to say
It's all an illusion
Interpretation astray
On exhibit for what it wants
And all it needs.
Painting is almost finished
The colors are beautiful

Make-up returned
Mirror shuts
She looks at her reflection
Clears her mind
She's ready to go
The painting is beautiful
But what is the canvas made of?
