Any artist would like to beseech
For a painting he would like to paint on a beach
Under the azure sky , turquoise sea on the background
Among the picturesque surroundings
A dream painting near to his heart
Filled with colours of his choice
A lifetime masterpiece to rejoice
But his attitude of perfection proded him to detect on the canvas a tiny speck
And he held a magnifying glass to check
His painting cannot have any blemish he thought
A little dab of paint his eye has caught
Can he also see a speck on the canvas of life?
He can only see it through his inner eyes.
-Manohar Luthra
