You paid him
for something that you could like
He gave you
the thing
that he loves  
most  


I don’t know
and I am sure he doesn’t know
what it means
when you say
you gave your everything
to someone or something
and now living in grey ?


What he knows
his sweats need devotion  
his emotions need attention
Movements of his blood and his fingers
need aggression
and he have to keep his days and nights  
his sleeps and dreams
in hibernation
to pour his everything
into something
through your imaginations  


And when he gave you
your something
and his everything
he could walk away
with a smile of satisfaction  


Because what you saw and believed as grey
He knew
that was burnished green
covered with cold clouds
little white
little grey
Although an artist always knows, statues he made will be immersed in water after few days of noise or will be kept somewhere unnoticed, ignored,  he always put his life in his creations. Life is not different from art. Even if you know you are going to die, you cannot stop living.
Of course life will shows you hard time (little white, little grey) but don’t mistake green (liveliness, happiness) with grey. Sometime a layer of sadness (cold clouds) could made bright green to appear grey.
