Something from Nothing

Something from Nothing
-Bethany Berry

The soft, blank canvas, patiently awaits
Screaming white, waiting to be dressed in paint
Starting something new, it waits for its fate
Slowly, colour is added, bold and faint

Short hairs from the brush glide across the board
The paint settles, spread across its new home
Adding colours, more paint is being poured


The vibrant bright colours start to take shape
Turning nothing into  something, feels great
Painting a memory, a fine landscape
nowhere near done, it won't be, at this rate

The time, Oh canvas, is not just for you
It is also an escape for me too.

(Written in the form of Shakespearean Sonnet)
