Blank Canvas

by Elodie Cain

I wish I was a blank canvas--
Painted afresh with a new coat of white,
Ready to be decked in color.

A new design on my surface,
A new secret meaning hiding within.
I want to be seen in a new way, a new light.

If I only could be painted with the colors of a sunset
Or the rich hues of a tranquil forest.
If I only I could become once again
A blank canvas.
