Life is a painting brushed with fire
Lantern-lit alleys hold dreams entire
In bustling streets time softly flows
A cup of tea where solace grows
Happiness like water deep
Its surging waves in silence keep
Like drifting clouds near or far
Unchained by time we are who we are
Half is warmth in a fleeting spark
Half is peace in twilight dark
Mountains crossed we find retreat
In simple days the worlds complete
Strings hum softly shadows sway
People come and go like clay
A sip of spring a moon so bright
Within the stillness lies true light
Smiling through change rain or shine
By lamplight pondering paths divine
In dreams flowers bloom hearts align
A single drink the rivers combine
Half is warmth in a fleeting spark
Half is peace in twilight dark
Clear and fleeting fire and breeze
Happiness whispers through the trees
Life is a painting both rough and fine
With fire and calm the colors align
Half contentment half untamed skies
A living poem where meaning lies
