2010 - Uneven Strokes of Life

On the huge and empty canvas
I threw some paints and colors
And then let it freely flow
Like blank and free verses

I came forward and silently watched
It crawling softly
Between the ups and the downs
And highs and the lows of life

They were all uneven strokes of life but significant.........

And then my life flashed in front of me
With outside realities of vibrant colors
That high lighted the signs that popped up
And left marked and unmarked tracks to follow

That led me to the water brook
Where I poured my soul
And all the troubles and worries
And there I learnt to seek life

And see around the corner and up ahead
To pick up the vibes to ensure myself
That I'm in the flow of life
In the right place,  at the right time 

They were all uneven strokes of life but significant............
