Canvas

I am a blank white canvas.

Stretched taut and spread
wide over wooden slats
with a luminosity so bright
I blind the eye.
A deep nothingness
of pure endless
unmarked freedom.

White as a pristine snowfield
smooth as the skin of a pearl
my boundaries undefined
no distinction as to where
I begin
or where I end
a landscape of eternal white.

I lie waiting
in this neutral state
this tintless undyed vacuum
waiting to be touched
with color
brought to life
by your hands.
