Description
We are born in simple purity
As the texture of our life unfolds
Life stains leave their markings
Unrelenting, joy, sorrow, hurt and hope
Each stain an unique colour and form
That seeps into our inner soul
Leaves its pattern outwardly
Bright and visible, subtle and faded
We bear these stains throughout life
Lightly, heavily, internally, externally
They colour and shape our life alone
Till we depart pure again
