Cozy Contemplations
Chapter 13 The Grey
A kaleidoscope of colors
Inhabits the world we know
Providing stimulating beauty
Like jewels scattered in the snow
Amongst the riotous hues
Lurks a sad and somber grey
Intent on leaching richness
And keeping happiness at bay
Life gives us many choices
But rewards are best when earned
Our journeys aren’t worth living
If there’s nothing to be yearned
To expect things to be easy
Is to bury our heads in sand
When we feel the grey advancing
We can choose to make a stand
There is no magic little pill
Nor simple answers for our lot
When proverbial push comes to shove
Our meager selves are all we’ve got
For though we wax poetic
There is a universal truth
Time makes us weak or strong or both
While it uses up our youth
We can dip into a well of excuses
For why we’re suddenly laid bare
But the tenet we must cling to is
Those vibrant colors are still there
