life is divine…

on the road to find happiness
I passed through a whole lifetime
thousands of days, millions of minutes
recorded on my slate
white in black
red in blue
that single colour
kept evading me
I filled my palate with water, oil
coal and lignite
no colour suited my inner void
it kept rejecting all
one by one
shade by shade
I brushed with fingers
I brushed with knives
I brushed with leaves
nothing worked out
my slate stayed blank
every time I painted some obsolete picture
I admired it with my full eyes
and when to have a broader look
I moved farther
it disappeared with not a trace
like from a magician’s slate
I resolved to not turn my back this time
I painted with baby pink, sunny yellow and apple red
this time I stayed awake
I did not turn my back
I moved backwards with silent footsteps
and lo! All disappeared in front of my very own eyes
one by one
every single stroke
every single trace of those lovely colours
and I am in pocession of my simple slate
I love you my life for being what you are
I love thee my life!
