Living Life With a Touch of Pathos

Life a beautiful woven tapestry
Silken threads running through a brocade
Day in and day out we sweat and toil
To the rhythm of the day 

The painter with his brush strokes strives
To bring meaning out of the canvas 
Different colours he tries to mix and match
Till the poster comes to life

Times of sorrow, times of joy
All allotted to us 
Time for living, time for dying
Set aside by the clock

The maker views life from a prism
Seeing the different colours caused by refraction
Sits back and watches in satisfaction
The game of creation unfolding before his eyes
