Is it really only a color? Or is it a feeling?
GRAY


Gray is the sky when it is crying
So gloomy, so dismal, so cheerful
Inspiration
True creation
The definition of something in between

Puts a fire of creation in the heart
Unequaled by anything on earth
Puts a question of life in the soul
With no real answer to be had

Black compared to white
Wrong compared to right
The line undrawn
The division unclear
Because of something in the middle
Something mixed, not quite defined
Something gray, not quite belonging to either end
Yet completely a part of both

If something becomes unclear
We say it is in "shades of gray"
Isn't life gray then also?
For nothing is clear
What's black to one is white to another
From life and death decisions
To the interpretation of the feeling that you get
When the sky sheds tears
And becomes
Gray
