Notes About The Poem

Painter

Painter

My life was painted
Long before I arrived
I follow the paint brush
Alone, left to surmise
If I belong in a painting
Or on a road to nowhere at all
Life is so black and white
Colors have faded away from eye sight
Along the promenades of loneliness
Were no able painter would stay
I follow my destiny, as I
Gracefully fade away

Life is so black and white...and We are that shade of grey...Sometimes a rainbow appears in that grayish rain...We fail to see it..Maybe...but its there...Love reading yr poetry Arthuro.
