Shades of Grey

Shades of grey
By Michelle Morris
26/10/2022

We often live in grey
Seldom the black and white
We live with the colours we choose
We're not restricted to any palette

All the choices that we make
All the things we say and do
Everyone who we ever meet
Has an impact on me and you

Some of it will be good
Some of it will be great
Some of it will be awful
Some of it will be initiations

But no matter what happens
Choice is the power we hold
Let your spirit guide and help you
To be the best you the Universe will know

Life so often moves
Between varying shades of grey
Sometimes it misses the colours
Because survival is the focus daily

But if we take the time
To explore the beauty of this life
We can experiment with all the colours
That the Universe invites

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
