Gray

sorenbarrett

Nude, sensuous or lewd?
The brighter the day the darker the shadows at play
Illumination subdued distortions viewed
Sun's radiance fades away, a skyline color of clay
In darkest night there is light
Black decay turns a horizon gray 
A mote in the eye causes a person to cry so slight
A drop of ink in the sea, the drop of a single degree
In the dark of night the dimmest light is perceived as bright
Black or white wrong or right, our perception is all we see

                Perception is the right way to use our hearts and minds soren, we understand life in a much truer way using it.
