Splash!

I wanted colours in my life,

Tired of the mundane black and white!

I wanted to do more than just survive,

And show the world my side that is bright!

Colours had taught me in essence,

That a splash of it here, a sprinkle of it there,

Could uplift our entire existence,

And spread positivity everywhere!

And their varieties are endless,

Each exuding vibrancy absolute!

Giving life to the lifeless!

Their aura, oh, I could only salute!

With that, one fine day,

I invited them over,

In my life to stay,

Not for just a day, but forever!

Initially, there were some hiccups,

Red wouldn't gel with blue!

Would throw up unnecessary tantrums,

I didn't know what to do!

Then I had an idea,

I invited all of them over,

For a cup of tea,

And then mixed them with each other!

In a matter of moments,

Each one lost its identity,

Each ceased to be each other's opponents,

In the resultant white, there was only unity!

Then I suggested them,

To resume social distance.

And who they were, they again became,

This time though, with a difference in stance!

They had learned thus,

To complement each other,

Instead of creating a fuss

And competing with one another!

This made me happy and content,

I started adding shades,

Wherever colours were non-existent!

Things had never been better, in decades!

Finally when it was done,

I heard a calling bell sound,

Guests? Oh no! they are my own!

In their eyes, I saw love profound!

You might be wondering,

About their identity!

Well, I won't keep you guessing,

They were Mr. Peace and Mrs. Tranquility!
