Grey

Grey
the day is asleep
sun's playing hide and seek
the clouds they cut deep
Grey
all colorless and plain
hope is on the wane
when abnormal is sane

Say
a bright word to make it all
okay
a rainbow I hear when you call
my name
I'm never going to be the same

Today
the scents grow cold
arms long to hold
someone needs to be told
to Stay
and take comfort in this
an imagined glance of bliss
a heart can't beat in a closed fist

Say
there will be an ending to
this grey
a dark November bending into
May
golden light to awaken this weary day
and make me feel okay

Grey
the night cuts deep
moon's a bright sickle that reaps
all the happy dreams I keep
Grey
all odorless and dull
wounded from the fall
I'll never be rid of it all

Grey
but just say
that it'll be okay
even if it's a lie
still I will try
remembering my name
never be the same


"Now if I seem to be afraid
to live the life that I have made in song,
well it's just that I've been losing for so long" -Jackson Browne 'These Days'

Beautifully romantic! Sometimes indeed it is a question of one bright word ...

Good write,  why is it that gray is always
such a good choice for when the weather is
just that?
