THE CANVAS

I used a teaser brush on the hypocrisy of life

By heaving a sigh of relief

I painted all of my sorrow sadness black

 

A bitter smile appeared on the wrinkled lines of my mountains

I glanced left and right

I though one side of me was an abyss and the other side is the sky

 

I adorned the sky with the black clouds by brush strokes

I painted the ugliness of this disgraceful world with sand color

Then I let it burn in the flame of the sun

 

What is the sand, it is a piece of rock, and even the rocks become sand one day, I gathered

 

I drew the Picture of my thoughts in patterns

Multicolored

I bared my soul through lines

I caused the blue color of my sea to overflow through my hope

A couple of brush strokes increased the enthusiasm of my waves

 

I put my head in my hands

I started brooding on

I penciled one more sky on the paper

Without any border

A deep blueness feeling

And a sense of eternity

Like a sea of the clouds lost in the depth of my eyes

I drew a couple of breath in the serenity of a highland air

 

I applied a last brush stroke

On the crimson lights of the sun

And

Freedom is an endless sky, I said.
