Art

So life is art

What happens when your canvas falls apart?

And your paint turns dry

Your colours smear

Your creation is a ruin

And you start to fear.





And what happens

When you realise your canvas is blank?

Your water is unneeded

And has evaporated

All inspiration dies

Your creation bleeds and cries.





If life is art

What happens when you aren’t artistic?

Creation you’re without

Life’s an eternal flame

Of a wickless candle

You know its burning out.





Life is too plain to be art.

You may be right.

However, maybe life is such an artform -- that it's meaning can only lie in the eye of the beholder? Perhaps...

Anyways... Good write, I can feel the mood you are in while you wrote this.

life is what you make of it... you want your life/ art to be exciting... then you go nuts and go for it... I'm sure you as well as anyone can add a twist to splatter the canvas...
