COSMIC CANVAS
Though we dwell under the same canopy,
The sky never remains blue eternally!
It changes its color, shade and hue,
With time as one season fades, and another
renews!
It is a cosmic canvas where He paints, -
With celestial colors in three-dimensional
shades!
Which on a 2-D canvas we try to imitate!
Those color and shades He produces so
naturally,
We struggle to make them chemically!
Our painted canvas remains fixed in time
and space,
While His real time show goes on with its
varied and multiple phase!
Our greatest of painters no matter how tall,
Stands belittled before His cosmic canvas
looking small!

That's absolutely true but at least we try to walk in his footprints and recreate if not create anything. A beautiful write!
Aye Cosmic Canvas is Eternal… inimitable and exact iteration impossible… Thanks for such a good thought…highs ‘highs’ of life. Ms Nivedita UK
He creates we imitate such a lovely poem, full of humility and realisation of man's insignificance. Happy Diwali and Kali pooja Mamta
yet he motivates us to paint with colors and brush a sky so blue and grass so lush till the painter realises he is the grass and he is the brush he is the wind anf the sky blue he is the master of the hue
Our work is only a poor imitation of the greatest Poet of them all. Very beautiful and profound. I like what you see through the windows of your soul. Thank you, Raj. Always your friend, Sandra
Raj, we try to recreate the beauty that we see, but to paint the perfect form and colour takes a much greater talent. Lovely poem Bob 10
