Death is not black but shades of grey Of hope that slowly leeches away Blindness that corrupts while holding sway Not black at all but darkly grey Death is not black, it's dark, dark, blue With silver veining through its hue A lightening promise, shooting through With deep regret to paint death blue Death is not black like dark of night But more an absence of all light A place to go to give up the fight Where restless dreams succumb in fright. Death is not black, it is just pale Welcomed in or with travail Fade away, or weep and wail Death is not black, it's simply pale. Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. Gail Sheehy |

Sea, thanks for responding. It was inspired by Sunshine's death poem. Where death was victorious, glorious and wonderful. Be well Kethry Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. Gail Sheehy |

Kethry~ What a brilliantly inspired piece. 'Death is not black, it's dark, dark, blue With silver veining through its hue A lightening promise, shooting through With deep regret to paint death blue' Some very profound thoughts here. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

So exceptional; I missed it on the first round, so I had to send it back to the top Wonderfully expressed. Pepper "I honor the place in you, that when you are in that place, and I am in that place in me, we are in the same place" Ram Dass |

IT is, it really is, this is very perceptive, Kethry! "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey."" Laurie Lee Kathleen |

Kethry, how kind of you to mention me in this...your poem...you did a lovely job on your own...but I have to quietly smile that perhaps we shared a "moment"... thank you! Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

I agree with this one wholeheartedly, Kethry. This is excellent writing...some things are just shades of grey..reminds me of the song "I've Neen to Town"... I've been to town You ask me if I've seen the Milky Way I have....and furthermore I'd like to say It isn't milky white It's dingy grey Especially when your world breaks down I know because I've been to town. |

Sunshine, thank you, perhaps we did share a moment although the inspiration was definitely yours. Charisma, thanks for your kind response. 'Deer thanks for responding, I haven't heard that song so I will have to look it up I think. Be well Kethry Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. Gail Sheehy |
