A black and white life don’t we live,
While finding a purpose to give it meaning,
Forgetting about what truly adds colour to it,
Oblivious to what truly gives meaning to it.
An undue importance don’t we give?
To the trivial, insignificant things in life,
Not apprehending how inconsequential it is,
Not realising how detrimental to self it is.
If only we understood,
That the dull days and the grey skies,
Teach us more than the flowery times.
If only we understood,
That joys and sorrows both are needed,
To make the canvas of life; a masterpiece!
-Khushi Goyal
