Oil paints what a ******

Oil paints...what a ******

    My mistake

A spill on canvas

          I wipe and wipe to fix the "inspiration"

Before I know my eyes are fixed and fixed on...nothing

 

The painting's gone, my over thought of simple things

Has stormed again and taken from me

      That that I saw, and saw as a need

 

A force so convincing

Has broken,

shock! and gone a splintering

 

  And now

In wide eyed amazement

I stare at beauty staring back at me

From a chance meant

  To be

A happy accident

 

A smile

 

Relief
