Gray Blue
Gray Blue, by Lisa Norton Gray skies. Gray cement walls. Gray gravel. Gray emotion as I lead myself single file into the long line that yet again stands before me. Yellow shirts. Yellow skin. Yellow anxiety within the veins. How can it be so lonely in a place so full? White pads. White eyes. White teeth. Nothing is...

Gray
Reflecting on times, ones perfectly certain, Without shadows of doubt on the mind, As though shining, waiting by black or white curtains, As though truth were so easy to find, So clear now it seems, contrary to say, Such clarity is not in the slightest, As black, surely, but one dark shade of grey, And pure white, just another, the lightest....

Premium Member october brushed by
october brushed by in the midst of an october sunrise bearing splashes of colors beyond description like a thick acrylic paint mixture crimson with cadmium yellow thrown…scattered like seed…by the hand of god morning unfolds like a delicate rose light crawls like aching fingers touching soft lips that moisten the sands, retreating, sliding like...

Chasing the Gray
Suddenly over the sudden years I have felt an encumbrance; I sense an albatross - the weight of sundry uncharted days. Times I chronicle today as if I were a wax cylinder or a broken spool in a cassette tape. A gray goose wing flight is my personal sky. I must write 'personal sky’ ten times a day so that the abated...

Premium Member Gray Stillness
The still clouds across the pasture hugging the mountains, did not stir A blanket of gray, everywhere brought peace to a soul that is bare Gray stillness stopped time in a beat There is nothing left to defeat Only wisdom to know it's time It will all begin with this rhyme Heidi Sands 3/25/25 *8 Syllables (C)opyright ...

Premium Member Disappointment
A shadow lurks 'neath gilded sun, Unseen, yet ever near. When hopes are high and paths unfold, It screams within our ear. With visions vast as boundless sky, And hopes like flames aglow, It silently creeps with wistful sigh, And beguiles us in our woe. Yet through its veil of somber gray, A hidden light doth dimly gleam, For its dark visit will not convey, The...

Premium Member Under the gray velvet sky, treacherous winds sketch memories for you
Under the gray velvet sky, treacherous winds sketch memories for you, The closed window cannot stop the pain that pierces your soul deeply, Beyond the horizon, another thirsty soul seeks the same breath of wind, Like a wild river carving its path through the stones of silence. Open your eyes and look deep into my silent gaze, Your path is...

February Gray
February Gray The weather and my mood, dismal as KING 5’s Headline News reports of politics, war and a cold rain forecast for tomorrow, makes me take a break from TV or staring out the window at gray Seattle skies to take a walk down on the waterfront. Only 5PM, yet pier 62 dock lights are already...

turning gray
As I Turn Gray As I turn gray, the music fades, Melodies lost in the echo of days. Consciousness swarms me, a ceaseless tide, Drowning in thoughts I cannot hide. The colors blur, once vivid, now pale, Chained by shame—too weak to prevail. Neither to move, nor to flee, Trapped in time, a ghost of me. Yesterday lingers, tomorrow looms, Regret and doubt fill hollowed...

Premium Member As the Aster Blossoms Fade to Gray
As the aster blossoms fade to gray A thousand-strong fleet trespass upon a bay Their leader sought to be the Lord of hosts To wage this war he spared no cost Then winter knell takes autumn's breath away As the aster blossoms fade to gray The grain has gone, the fight must cease But sacred honour stands in the way of peace Factions...

Raindrops fall from gray sky As amethyst tears from brown eyes Images tattoos on mahogany minds Neon signs of division so unkind Dear ones when death comes for you Remember only love will embrace who Others have cast away with hard hearts Pray for faith and light despite dark ...

Blue: A Shade of Gray
In my boat with a knife floating on a silent, blue sea what a serene beauty bewitched by the cursed one my boat is drowning the moment's grace to draw the knife climbing up high to touch the clouds gray mountains are challenging me my leg slipped, i'm falling down the moment's grace to draw the knife for me blue is a shade of...
