A New Canvas

A poem dedicated to our current reality and a new outlook on purpose.

As we face a new challenging future

What painting will emerge on your new canvas

We hold in our hands new brushes to paint

A new life emerges with each new stroke

To help us paint an unknown future

Live the painting with a new vibrant outlook

 

Go on and grab the brush of love to brighten our souls

Hold on to the brush of life with each new stroke

A brush of strength and perseverance

For many the brush has turned dark and only fond memories remain

A brush of gratitude to those who have lost their lives to help others

 

Embrace your love ones and rejoice

Feel the Uroboros that evolves around us

Its symbol of birth, death and rebirth will gift us new brushes to paint

A new life awakens with each stroke to survive

 

Hold on to the brush of life

What canvas will you now paint on

What brushes will you now use

What emerges will be the new life you have painted

A new canvas!!!
