The Key To Life

by Shade Akinmorin

I’m a blank page on this open book.

My life has become a canvas,

I’m that wall neatly painted crystal white,

I’m that blue open sky, clear of cloudy days.

I write on my blank, open page who I am

and what I want to become.

I gently stroke magenta, tickle-me pink,

and midnight purple on the canvas to create my talents.

I have people lean on my walls, make imprints,

impacts, and ever-lasting impressions.

I let birds, whom I call angels in disguise,

fly through my clear blue skies, guiding me to my way.

The key to life is to Design your life.
