He's letting me go... Said he didn't want to hold me back from my gray places He doesn't understand the passions that make me write for hours when they ignite He says he loves me so But it would seem the best of me he can't see There is just too much of my gray getting in his black and white way |

gray has tremendous symbolism for some men reminders of something not welcome and a spot where they can't turn back from. My heart goes out to you, Eusta B. Jeff |

He can't see all the joy and pleasure in all the gray. Blind and foolish man. Love this. |

I'm goying gray, and sometimes imagine things I've missed along the way. Like mirrage, kids, all that stuff. I tell myself that's not important, but, sometimes, I wonder if the world is passing me? DG Hey, nobody's human! |

Yo dear EBM, I have a lot of trouble with gray. Gray is not clear, and everything rather blends in. Love Bobby |

I love the color metaphors in this poem.Gray almost becomes personified. And the ending is great! I think all poets are a bit "gray" don't you? If they were black and white, they would be engineers |

gray isn't a bad place to be if it's your place. Ida |

Of all your poems this one connected with me. Everything is not black and white but rather gray. |

Somehow I have always hated the phrase "Anything gray is black". Gray is life. Salt and pepper is the spice. Live Life! |

Hello Eusta, I love the nuances of the poem, colored nuances that say to me that white and black don't exist, that all is gray and only those who share van see that...This poem talked to me artfully and genuinely.... regards yann |
