The Colors Of Life

Kaleidoscopic colors
Changing shapes and form
Swirling around us
Searching for the norm
The colors of life, ever changing

We reach for what we know
Grasping, as if through ashes
Tired of all the conflict
Worn down from the woes
Longing for what we once had

Life doesn't stand still
It doesn't wait on us
We must keep up
Or fall and wither away
The colors of life, ever changing

Sometimes we question why
Sometimes we forge ahead
We only have today
This moment of reality
What we do, where we go

We splash colors on a canvas
Full of shadows and light
Our past fills in the lines
Our hopes define the finishing touch
The colors of life, ever changing

The picture will portray this moment
Hopefully it will have places of light
Our challenges, our dreams
All casting their shadows
Colors of purpose being revealed

At this moment with brush in hand
The colors are mixed and ready
The first stroke a beginning
And with each touch we find our image
The colors of life, ever changing
