We are too quick to put labels on things. It is my profession. I get up and paint. Everyone wants to put a label on it, but I am a free spirit, so I fight against that. ↗

As I watch sunlight break In through Clouds , Reminds me of all my dreams and Hopes shattered long time ago , because i believed- someday i'll be able to break through, As I watch the rays hitting on my Skin , Gives me a flashback of all those shores where once I wanted to Rest till eternity... Untill the dawn comes out and forget them all !! ↗
