A Sea of Gray
October 5, 2017
Gray makes you feel good at the beginning of winter
It is like a vulture when someone dies
It feels like a forbidden lover’s touch
Gray is there when a lost soul cries
We feel gray when we are confused
We feel gray when we’re cold
It’s at the sight of every disaster
Gray is the color of the old
It is someone waiting in anticipation
Gray is a woman about to cry
It is an old burden and new beginnings
It is the smell of life when someone dies

This piece of writing comes from an assignment in my Creative Writing class. We had to choose a color and write a poem about it. I chose gray because it has both a positive and negative connotation when I think about it. I allude to many topics without mentioning them directly. Many of the lines are metaphors. Because I am a song writer, I am currently adding music to the lyrics.
