NEBULOUS HUES



Life is not dull black
Nor is it pearly white
And that’s the way it’ll stay
When I see no rainbows
Colouring the skies
I’ll live with the endless shades of grey

Black is not
So hot for me
Its darkness engulfs my soul
White’s not so cool
Blinding sight
The bland blend obscures, takes control

I can no longer lean
On the illusive arc
It’s but a myth, untrue
Its finite septet
Not encompassing enough
To colour my life anew

My life
It’s a diverse canopy
Bigger than the sky I see
Not black, not white,
Nor rainbows
No, they’re not the ones for me.

Why do I need you
To render my dreams
Restrictions don’t hold sway
I’ll have an unlimited palette
When I learn to embrace
The infinite shades of grey
