the art show.

why are these pictures missing?
have they been stolen? or
is it just the next cool thing
to frame a white piece of paper?
or perhaps paintings below
have been obscured by this blank
canvas in some great scheme -
a war between two artists.

one can almost imagine
competition for dominion
over the entire artsy scene.
there isn't enough room
in the gallery for
the both of them.
yet it seems that this obscurity
is one artist's only work. he
claims its credit, but for some
critics, its emptiness is a hard sell.
there are, of course, as at any
show, those who see its worth.

the trained eye, however, can
see the silence for what it is.
they know that somewhere
deep below, flows the passion
of an Artist whose very Art
is Life. His images are hidden,
though not quite lost. His
work is restoration. the recall
of that which has been covered
with the fraud of modern art.
tireless renovation reveals His handiwork.

but what of the canvas of my heart
when he uncovers its dimly wrapped frame?
what image will thus appear,
and whose likeness shall it bear?
