Shades of Gray

What once was the beauty that haunted me in my dream
Is now no longer here
Beautiful colors as I remember
A rainbow of emotions
Painted upon a canvas of vibrant dreams

My despearte embrace cannot bring back the memories
My tears cannot bring back the emotions
Longing for the kiss, longing for rememberance
Forgotten like a fallen star

I hold out my arms
Trying to bring back that missing sensation-touch
But I drift pass as if I am a shadow
Heading for the future or am I staying in the past?
Had I been discarded or am I leaving my mark upon this world?
The Window of Time has left me ravaged and forgotten

Until the hour of our deaths
I shall wait for eternity
...but all I see is gray
My presence is that of a shade
The shade of gray or a shade of gray?

Author's Comments

This is a poem that I wrote that is based on "shades." When you read it, it seems confusing, but "the shade of gray" is the tint, and "a shade of gray" is a shade from Greek mythology. (That is the name for the dead.) This is inspired by Book 11 of the Odyssey, in which Odysseus meets up with his dead mother and comrades.

The only way to reach salvation is to be open-minded to those around us which are different.
