Life

Life’s canvas is set And primed with every hue: Red, purple, salmon, gray, green, blue. In its outline, there is Direction, intention and goal. Purpose and reason lay Within its countless themes. Perspectively, In the foreground of the canvas, Are things dearest to us. And in the middle ground Are mediocre things. But in the background, Are those things far removed. And then, there is the Overlapping of events: Such as joy and sorrow, Victory and defeat. Life has its different strokes. Soft edges encourage us. Meanwhile, the hard edges— Well, that’s a different story. But then, that’s life in all of Its sunshine and shadows.
