In the grey

I'm trying to unlive it,

it clashes with my dreams.

But here you are...outstanding,

my suffering redeemed.
 

Devoid of the hardships,

oblique, away they fade.

swimming in those soft pastels

almost squeezing out the grey.
 

Stories we've been told,

I'm tasting all I've heard.

rejuvinated by the fire
and the magic that occured.
 

With any luck...I'll outlive it,

set my chin against the flame.

In the greying worlds indifferance,

I will never be the same.

In The Grey....

when I read poems i go with the theme to title ratio...here that is 5 stars.Yet there is so much more here and only so many stars.what would the better times be without those grey moments to compare them to?A question that comes out at me...and brings a smile to my face.Golden moments from Grey halls. In ink, Dabbler
