Living this adventure we journey toward its end,
experiencing pieces of a puzzle we don't fully comprehend.
The hues of our emotion paint a picture of our past,
as we hurtle toward a destiny that is not meant to last.
Youth a canvas all in white, not knowing what awaits,
feel caresses of a brush that which we know as fate.
Love so very true in reds, that beat within our heart,
shadows black take form as rage which tears a soul apart.
Greens of joy and happiness, lush beauty beyond compare,
Sorrow shrouded depths of blue the waters of despair.
Yellow screams of sadness which we all must endure.
Guilt and shame are shades of grey that rattles to the core
Earthly brown desires are that for which we lust
the loss of which comes with age, like chrome begins to rust.
The image changing constantly as time plods slowly on
taking shape in many forms as twilight gives way to dawn
our futures are ours to create paintings filled with love
its easy to see the destination was the gallery above ...
