Given

You gave me words,

I assorted them..

Made a poem..!

You gave me tunes..

I played them..

Evening got its music..!

You gave me rhythm..

I mixed it in my soul..

I danced, and danced..!

You gave me light..

I opened my eyes..

I glimpsed at beauty..!

You gave me colours..

I dipped my brush..

Painting, they said, it was..!

You gave me a smile..

My lips sparkled..

I fell in love.. !
