# In the Courtyard of Emotions# #

Why do you ask—what is the meaning of life?
I am an artist, painting dreams with feelings so rife.
In the courtyard of emotions, I blend hues divine,
Crafting rainbows from sorrows, like aged red wine.

I sow flowers of words with care and grace,
Letting love’s rain fall, soft as a lover’s embrace.
Through life’s trials, I gently weave,
Untangling knots with the hope, I believe.

In melodies of joy, I awaken my soul,
My song of life making the fragments whole.
Though struggles arise, I never retreat,
I step ahead, steady, with courage in my feet.

Sometimes, the weight of worry steals my breath,
Yet, I find calm, even in the depths.
In silent nights, my pen roams free,
Dancing in moonlight with quiet poetry.

My poem is my truest friend, my flame,
An echo of my soul, beyond fortune or fame.
In the courtyard of feelings, I let blossoms grow,
With words that shimmer and verses that glow.
