*Composed for a good friend who discovered my artistic 'talent' back in college days.

In deep silence,
Voices taunts your ears -
You hear what they cannot hear..
In the darkest shade,
Colours flows and blends -
You see what they cannot see..
One chaotic world we live in -
A paradise in your eyes
Music and color embraces your soul..
Feet dancing, voices singing..
Do, re, mi tunes on air
A guitar string's plucked
Better get your sticks
And bang up a drum.
You can walk over the rainbow,
Your mind wander beyond the clouds
No, you aren't living in dreams
For your feet lies flat on the ground.
A leaf fall, birds hum a song
Pick a pen and write a poem
Few lines may come before dawn
Tomorrow's memories are born.
Melancholy is a companion
There lies in you -
A great power of imagination.
Tears might not show the hurt,
And a smile couldn't mean you're glad..
They laugh at you at times
They just don't understand why..
The artist in you breaks out -
And that's what I admire in you
No doubt.
Look at the work of your hands -
You are gifted, stand proud..
But never ever forget the Lord above.
Now, as you face your crossroad ahead -
Grab a brush.. paint a canvas,
And create a masterpiece -
Out of your life.
