Fragments of emotions

I first painted it black and white,

A reflection of stark emotions,

Added shades and hues of the two extreme,

Like the fragments of emotions in between,

An urge to apply layers of colours on the monochrome base,

The result - rich, deep, complex tones,

Perhaps, to live is to accept every emotion.

"The beauty of a fragment is that it still supports the hope of brilliant completeness"

- Tobias Wolff
