The Empty Canvas

I stare at this empty canvas and think about its future. Would this be a masterpiece adorning someone’s mantelpiece and be the crown jewel in their collection? Or would this turn out to be yet another half-hearted attempt at creating something unique only to be thrown away in disgust and anguish, As all my efforts come to a heart wrenching stop.
            The tools I need are at my disposal, brushes ready to meet the paint and vanquish the emptiness on the canvas. The paints burn with fiery intensity to create something new, the modest canvas hangs bleakly from the easel unsure of its future. The easel stands upright and doesn’t squirm as if it were Atlas holding the globe on his back but instead stands proud and gallant to play its part in contributing to the creation of something new, something which the world might never appreciate it for. It stands like a proud mother caressing her child carefully balancing herself to ensure that she is neither smothering nor mollycoddling her loved one.
            Thoughts run through my mind as I move towards the tools, I have held myself back too long I think and move towards the canvas. My thoughts are empty and I look for inspiration. My mind shifts from the canvas as I walk through memory’s lane to think of something worth creating, something which might offer inspiration or which might lend hope to a distraught soul or which might just please the heart with just a glance and refresh old memories.

I get lost in thoughts as my mobile rings and pulls me away from memories of the past and reminds me that I’ve delayed myself too long and I’d need to put this away for a later time. For now I’d need to rush with my routine and get to work leaving this for another day. Perhaps the day might never come or perhaps inspiration might strike some day and I might be able to finish this.
