Colours of Life !

Being terrible at art, unable to understand colours

Once, my teacher said, 

"Bright for the day and dark for night

It's pink for girls and blue for the guys, 

Ohh boy, you better get that right!

Roses are red and trees are green

I wonder, why your colours look so miserable on-screen"

With my every unbearable choice of colour, 

I thought, teacher to be so mean.

My understanding is not so poor,

With every passing time, I see a "change" in colour

A combination of two creating a third

Why at times, colours act so weird

Some bring joy, some add to the sorrow

It brings me a different feeling today.

And a completely different feeling tomorrow.

By the way, "Colourless" also has a colour

It stays for some time, then, just disappear.

I have experienced it from being minor to a major,

With every passing time, I see a "change" in colour

Because with this passing time, 

My perception changes a little,

Dark colours can also be beautiful, 

Too much brightness can also make you tumble

For some, colour remains the same, 

With age, they just keep fading. 

For some, colour never changes,

It's the illusion that makes one keep guessing.

Whatever shades of life you endeavour,

With every passing time, you will surely see a "change" in colour
