Your Own Masterpiece

Walk gallantly and do not faint 
For the season is ripe for you to paint 
Your canvas craves for the kiss of your brush 
So paint eagerly but do not rush

Fill your canvas with different hues
Fill it with reds, violets and blues
Fill it with greens, oranges and yellows 
Fill it with golds, silvers and indigos

Riddle your canvas with legends to tell 
With vigor, courage, triumph and spell 
Though sometimes your sky is riddled with blues 
Make your painting worth the dues

Make your painting fit for the season
May it be winter, spring, summer or autumn
Give it the strength to brave the strongest storm 
Give it the courage to venture the unknown 

Write your conquests boldly as a tale 
Make your pen a fountain of stories to tell 
Make the rights and wrongs of yesterday 
Chart the steps and paths of the future and today 

Write well you legends of love and affection 
For love is a tale far greater than fiction 
Among all the virtues, it is leading in motion
It can lash a cold heart without any potion

Dare to walk on track that only few men take 
But be cautious enough with every step you make 
For everytime you make a clumsy stride
A greasy path could be waiting to cause your slide 

For your life can be your own masterpiece 
So write and paint well the legends of your piece 
Fill it with colors that are worth reminiscing 
Make every season worth remembering
