Canvas

By Ben

An artist's hand draws steadily near
his canvas alive beneath him
The outline of her dream over her heart
it's perfect-ness she hopes for
His metallic brush dips once
twice into his paint
And the hum of his talent
drowns a heartbeat
Eyes close as her dream comes to life
His living canvas now adorned
the outline of her dream takes form
Again his brush dips into the paint
and her dream comes in vivid color
A bird for her dream to fly on
It's beauty magnificent
It's life now hers
Pride in his work swells her chest
The work has been well worth
the price paid
A thousand times his brushed pierced
his living canvas
Her smile shows she will take her dream
Forever
