Life A Canvas...

Life is a canvas
We are painters
Emotions the colours.
Brush lay on fingers
intent to express 
the undecided strokes.

Clumsy mind, 
the wind that sweeps   
every moment's breath.
Love and compassion,
Jealous and greed,
Anger and hatred
looming over life
Hues of contrast.

Midst of a reverie
remains a reality 
in ultimate disguise
without stroking any clue.
A painter is busy making 
his own painting 
to lit it on his pyre.
