Misunderstood

She found an old canvas
covered in dust –
and stripped away…..
the years
but all she found
was a canvas filled
with emotions –
a masterpiece
she’d never seen nor knew.

So she took her brush……
and painted away
then framed it ~~~
with an edge of insecurities.

Then she stood away
and looked
and never understood –
that it was her brush
which took away the colour
leaving the fibres - - -
filled with grey.

Frustrated
she walks away…..
and now the picture sits
unseen and left alone –
misunderstood.
