A black and white life don’t we live,
While finding a purpose to give it meaning,
Forgetting about what truly adds colour to it,
Oblivious to what truly gives meaning to it.
An undue importance don’t we give?
To the trivial, insignificant things in life,
Not apprehending how inconsequential it is,
Not realising how detrimental to self it is.
If only we understood,
That the dull days and the grey skies,
Teach us more than the flowery times.
If only we understood,
That joys and sorrows both are needed,
To make the canvas of life; a masterpiece!

Are the third and fourth lines deliberately kept so vague? What adds colour and/or gives meaning to our lives – I’d rather know what the writer thinks about it. After all, I consider philosophers and poets (such as yourself) to help us lay people understand the purpose of our lives 😉

Yes, because that’s highly subjective!
A little bit of introspection and you’ll know what adds colour and/or meaning to your life 😉
