Different shades of life
Somedays pages of my diary stayed empty
somedays thoughts overflowed
till pages could no longer bear the weight of my words
Spring was monochrome, despite the vibrant sky and blooming flowers
In a world full of colors
I existed in a monochromatic part, devoid of color
seeking for the right color to fill mundane “black and white” existence
May appeared with colors again
as an artist stroking paint on empty canvas
I had to go through war, within myself
to add color to blank canvas of my life
with hope of making something out of nothing
July approached with blue
colors started fading slowly
like pedestrians leaving the busy streets by the evening
life once again felt as empty as a blind alley of the abandoned city
darkness dragged me inside the depth of the void
where I kept waiting
to float back to the surface once again
By the time the month of September passed
spring inside me was alive once again
flowers inside me sprout despite the blustery autumn
landscapes inside me painted with flowers
December froze my heart
I let the cold breeze seep inside me
yet shivering weather could not seize the warmth you left
nostalgia in a gust of wind, dawn whispering secrets scornfully
I confide our story to snowflakes, and they disappear as snow melts
And I keep waiting patiently for next Spring
Somedays pages of my diary stayed empty
somedays thoughts overflowed
till pages could no longer bear the weight of my words
Somedays hazy and blue, other days almost black and white
somedays colorful and vibrant
as if the sky itself envies my existence
Through different shades of life
I lost and found myself again and again
