Bright Grey

Several years have now gone by.
With shades of truth turned into lie.
Twenty-four hours at a time.
To find my life ain't worth a dime.

Without someone to share my day.
The sun just seems farther away.
Somewhere inside desire goes on.
With that bright grey of a new dawn.

An artist paints with many strokes.
From thoughts inside the soul evokes.
And each one has a special light.
As sometimes day turns into night.

What some may think is worthwhile art.
Others end up a mile apart.
With nowhere in between to go.
The difference is all that will show.

Such pensive undertones in this poem. Art, however shared, is a worthwhile endeavor... often finding no rewards. Mine is for me... though I enjoy the fact that some like it. I hear no applause from the masses. Wonderful rhymes in your poetic art makes for its beauty.

Robert, I really like this one. The title is really clever. Grey, but with a bright tone. Gives me pause for hope!!
