Grey Flower
Astronomical grey
Leaving a touch of white
Within its darkest pores
Petals floating on down
To the reflective waters
That latch onto
Its very essence
Imploring grace
Deep into the center of grey
Which the flower envelopes
And is created into
A color world
It’s nice to see some grey
To fill the void
That exists when color
Is absent and obliterated
The noble being
Of this flower
Blooming through the darkness
Becoming grey from the light
That arrives in truth
Even the water below
Is dark, everything is black
But the slight white
That makes the grey
Come alive
The flower overcame
Darkness
