I paint my canvas white
only to have it fade to gray
until the black takes my sight
and lead myself astray
i walk in a straight line
but return to where i have been
i stagger, trip and fall
and lose my sense of belonging
a speck of light appears in the void
for what seemed like an eternity
i tear it wide open and let myself in
the light caressed and hope shined within
a sigh of relief as i bask in the light
i paint my canvas white...
