Shades of Life.

Opening your eyes each day 
Hoping for that something new
We just go through the motions
Of life and things we do.

Same old streets we walk along
Faces have no smiles
We but keep on walking
The days turn into miles.


I wish to turn a corner
Where sunshine warms my face
Ill feel fulfilled and happy
Where habit has no place.

People say, your just depressed 
It takes time to renew
Feelings of a better time
When days were not so blue.

The shades of living they can change 
A  little bit each day
From misty charcoal.black the sky
Where blue will conquer grey....

                                 S Sanlon.
