Life Abstract

What does it mean to be a work in progress?    
A composition incomplete  
Yet so full of promise    
    
A massive canvas painted in such great detail    
Look carefully    
Each brush stroke with a different story to tell    
   
In artist's hand    
A pallet filled with brilliant yellows, reds, and shadowy blues    
Cast aside, are the muted hues    
   
Negative spaces    
Essential to this presentation    
We'll call them creative blocks    
Areas to be covered out of desperation    
   
Spot-lit moments of success    
Cast shadows over imperfections    
Only the best parts on display for immediate admiration    
   
Wealth and acceptance    
Or poverty and rejection    
What this work will amount to is truly unexpected    
   
Life Abstract    
Surely this piece will be called    
My heart's likeness    
To be hung upon these walls
