Surfer's poem: The young artist

Red, blue, white and green, bottles filled with colours umpteen, started the young painter with these...., writes Abhijai Garg. Your contribution.

I am quite,
I am alive,
Whole life I am with you,
As a lifeguard to you.

I can't say my feeling to you,
Only I can do is to cooperate with you.
I can only request you from my humble heart,
Grow me as you can and as much as you can.

If you want me to be with you,
You should also care about me to.
Because one day will come,
When you will terribly need us to come from the dark and help you,
But we will be not there for you,
As you will destroy us for your use.

I don't say don't use me but do respect me,
Many times you exploit me by cutting me dreadfully.
You know that from me only you get your food,
But you don't remember the time you cut me.

But till now I am quite, I am quite, I am quite.
