In the transience of this journey
Someone beyond the horizon is painting a portrait of my existence.
Every moment of life is being illustrated on a canvas
My soul is a canvas; life is colorful—it is art
Consciousness is a brush wrapped in radiance
My blood is hopeful to soak in the colors
Tears that fell each time were not in vain; they now shimmer in the hues
Emotions that melt the heart and leave it wounded
Imaginations that tear through the soul’s endless depths and become free
Dreams that fill this adventurous journey with ecstasy
Memories and desires that hold forgotten tragedies, some still flow beautifully
A luminous soul is drying the artwork with the stolen breaths of mine.
All of this together completes just one artwork
Every passing moment is devoted to perfecting that art
Which is known as death—the end is merely the completion of one masterpiece
Life is nothing but a grand artwork being painted on a canvas
People in this world took joy in creating their masterpieces and left
And each artwork, in the desire to find itself, has bid farewell forever
The more peacefully the wind flows in life
the more wonderful the masterpiece becomes
Life is not merely to be lived
it is an opportunity to craft a great piece of art
The world is not too small, nor is life
For a masterpiece, life is vast enough

This is wonderful! Just a great reminder that God has made each person in such an amazing way! It reminds me of Psalm 139:14, which says, "I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well."
Wonderfully done, Sk, this is a masterpiece <3
Superb
This poem itself is a MASTERPIECE 💗 Now I realize that we're that Canvas being painted by the creator ✨ And our life is that painting. Every verse is like a vast ocean. Covers so much, seems small 👏 Incredible!
So many wonderous lines but your final ones captivated me: 'The world is not too small, nor is life For a masterpiece, life is vast enough' This entire piece has a quiet sense of beauty that cries to be shared.
