Didn't know that one day when I open up my crayon box I would find my red crayon missing. I could no longer paint a sun set or a morning sun rise ! Blue , yellow,green and black that was all left . I could not draw fire , I could not draw a heart and then I asked myself , WHAT AM I LEFT WITH ? A dull dark space bringing sorrow to the eye ? My task was only to find my Red Crayon , 'my future picture'.
If it was so easy to find ;Won't it finish fast ? May be it wasn't supposed to end so quickly ! But what if it was lost forever ? I would never get it back and will I ever be able to brighten my darkness filled eyes ? I could buy a new one but then I would have to replace the old set . I would have to forget about my BLUE , YELLOW, GREEN AND BLACK shades that were old too. The new , fresh ones wouldn't feel as worthy as my old crayons which contains the sweat of my fingers .
The memories I had with them ! I know they would remain in my pictures forever but shouldn't I respect the precious gifts ?
Something goes missing when we ignore it ! Maybe because I used my red crayon always that I lost her and now knowing her value. Because of my ignorance I have placed her somewhere that I rarely visit ! Maybe it is a sign that I have to know where I am living . So,I searched the whole house ... UNDER THE SOFA ! UNDER THE TABLES! UNDER THE WASHING MACHINE ! AT LAST ! I FOUND HER BEHIND A WINDOW THROUGH WHICH I SAW MY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE , THE HOUSE THAT I PLAYED IN ! NOW IT HAS BEEN REPLACED BY A FACE THAT I DON'T KNOW. JUST LIKE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I REPLACED MY CRAYON. WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ? I WOULD HAVE LOST ALL MY PRECIOUS MEMORIES BECAUSE I HAVE USED SOMETHING AND AT LAST IGNORED IT,THROWN IT AWAY. BUT I DREW A SUN RISE AGAIN WITH MY OLD RED CRAYON.
