Look again
Not a blank canvas
A ready made work of art
Valuable not for profit
Nor potential, but being
Swirls of color long dried
Patterns scarcely recognized
Some would not view it
Without alteration desired
A lighter hue or deeper lines
More Impressionistic than
Romantic or Modern
A change in basic design
Unwilling to corrupt meaning
Through reshaping or reform
With thoughtlessness obscene
Instead I sit and look anew
To find what's yet unseen
A ready made work of art
Valuable not for profit
Nor potential, but being
Swirls of color long dried
Patterns scarcely recognized
Some would not view it
Without alteration desired
A lighter hue or deeper lines
More Impressionistic than
Romantic or Modern
A change in basic design
Unwilling to corrupt meaning
Through reshaping or reform
With thoughtlessness obscene
Instead I sit and look anew
To find what's yet unseen
