It’s an easy grey
To get lost in
With mist holding
mid thirties.

Yesterday’s warm
Now chilled
As Dakota winds
Return.

Simple
To lose oneself
Veiled in colors demise
For no one sees
The dull

Aches

Sorrows


Hidden in sunless traipse
Across dull browns

For today
It is
Easy Grey
the rest
stay in
a box

Hi Ron,
I read this thrice, trying to decide whether this is just about the weather or whether i am supposed to infer something more (like apply this situation to my life or derive some insights on the poet's mind) and that is what i like about this piece....

Ron,

I am liking the replies this morning to your poetry as much as the poetry.

WELL...not AS much....love your poetry and this is no exception and no reply can do it justice...(though Patrick sure did!!!) smiling still.....

I echo Kaile's response, for, again someone said what I would have liked to and how I felt upon reading it.

Enjoyed this a great deal.

I loved this from the title on. *S* Of course, it's more a case of losing all the prettier colors and being left only with grey in the box for me (but my cats help *G*)

Hope your skies turn sunnier soon. *S*

Nice Write, Cap'n...

(sigh) I've always wondered if gray is really a color, to me it is always more of a complexion when the colors self-destruct on such a day such as this! (big hugggssssss) This is very well-said, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ron, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
