Shades of Gray

X.

I watch my brother turn red in the face, from laughter

Gasping for air, I shudder to think the latter

Is exactly what has us here. I turn

Blue in the face

Replaying memories of being stuck in

Shades of gray

On sunset orange, it takes the day away from me

Mentally those days will fade

I wake up day to day still seeing shades

of Gray

And as age would betray me

I would shake to say

I sea a wave to play

With

The blue would fade away into the ocean

Green. Decay’s decay

Decanted emotions come flowing like canal on a rainy day

I’m full

of memories

I would falsely equate to misery

And through rose colored shades

It’s more visible gray’s okay

we,

Can agree that life is a spectrum

Meant to be

Seen.

A beam of refracted energy

A new perspective at times

Can fix an image we thought was distorted.

Has anyone else just been making it up as they go along? Have you gotten so far from where you started that finding your way back seems impossible?

Well— reach.

Power when exercised properly is a beautiful thing.
