Life In A Million Colours

The world is an empty canvas,

Ready to be painted on, 

With the colours of life.

Pastels, hues, darks and lights. 

Different days for different hues, 

Blue and grey for the days of despair, 

Yellow and orange for the days spent without care. 

In the green fields of time

We reap the fruit of everyday hustle. 

But in this mad rush, 

Don't ever forget your own essence.

As you draw in a fresh breath of air, 

Imagine yourself fly in the clear blue sky, 

The endless blue sky, 

Seems so full of life. 

Soak in the freshness of the air

Let it flow in your veins. 

In the end you will cognize,

That life is nothing

But a bridge between you and your desires, 

Which you will fulfill, 

With endless toil, 

But what matters is, 

That at the other end of the bridge. 

You'll have a suitcase filled with memories 

To take into the next world.
