Canvas, Life, Beginnings
No blemish on the broad expanse
Free from the stains of life
Time paints with strokes of chance
With hands invisible to all
Colors touch the once clean space
Rainbow drops of life that fall
Hues of melancholy sadness
Bursting lines excited
Swirling with chaotic madness
Verging, merging, iridescence
Light and shadow building blocks
Mists that merge into the essence
Mid hoary struggle rife
Settles out in firmament
Realities that speak of life
How the canvas blank doth fill
With melded story life
What is choice and what is will
Will we ever know the end

by Gary Maclean
I hope you don't mind
If I use tried and true rhythm
If I choose words that rhyme
Rather than cadence that seems blithesome
