Well, I told myself I'd write something positive this time around... and I suppose I succeeded to some extent in the second half of this poem. Enjoy.

Whispers of Gray


I hear the whispers of a world turned gray
where joy met suffering and inexorably collided
into a single immutable form
void of its constituents

Whispers more tender than imagination can dream
hints of life and death spattered into the wind
broken with the faintest grasp for meaning or truth
pieces recombining miles, eons, away, into nothing significant

And yet I still listen, I listen for the day when I can hear
the meaning behind the shrouds of gray
when the colorless opacity of the world
fills my ears with colored vision

Only then will I whisper back
a hint of love
a taste of death
and nothing in-between.

It's in your power to transform the grey and use that brush of colors inspired by love ...

Hope is there. Lovely write.

Love,
