They call it void
I call it a ‘canvas.’
They call it vanity
I call it opulence.
Being a better painter,
I took that void
to paint a world
with my dreams.
For them it is futility,
For me it is fertility
Fertile enough for my whims
on the vast stretches of boredom.
They say,
“Blessed are those
who can draw both-
One with thoughts and
the other with dreams”
It was He, the great creator
who made me his apprentice.
There he left it half done
for me to perfect it.
And I filled my mind again
with those chosen colours
to deck up what I have,
an emptiness in plentitude!
