Empty Canvas

Empty Canvas


The Salt Flats hold nothing
to the thoughts that tumbleweed
through my barren and vacant heart
Now lifeless and numb to it's surroundings
Once a canvas full of color and promise
Now so antiquated that the colors
have faded cracked and pealed
Leaving an empty canvas

    A touching and poignant poem JoAnn, i know though, this canvas of your heart will be restored
    to it's original colour and promise! *10plus*! !
    Great read,
    Friend Thad
