Seize the Day

    A Splash of Colour

    1999

    A splash of colour in a sky, which otherwise was grey
    I met, above clouds on high, an artist on that day

    On homeward flight, from my cocoon spun of corporate tire
    She seemed to me a butterfly, with wings of bright desire

    How was it that we spoke so free, on subjects so diverse?
    As if upon a stage we played, our dialogue rehearsed

    For her, a brush, for me, a pen, are keys to hidden doors
    Behind which on eagle wings, passion swirls and soars
