It’s Never Just Black and White
Grey is a shape
a mood
to sleep
to dream
a blank canvas
a precursor to black
the colour of hope
pressure-washed
motes in light
a eunuch’s cloak
a mushroom hunt
morels and caps
is gray for some
is a cloud
a vapour
a spirit
a far-flung hill
is never just black and white.

Wow! I’m swept away by the contrasts and the enigmatic imagery that somehow between them get at “gray” — Simply brilliant, Misky. Especially this: the colour of hope/pressure-washed/motes in light” – You use the tangible to describe the intangible in such a vibrant way.

I loved this Misky! I am a day late getting around to reading everyone’s work. Really glad I got to read yours, really enjoyable. And you’re right and you are right you are right, life is never just black-and-white. There are so many beautiful and wonderful shades. We all need to appreciate each one of them. BTW I love hunting mushrooms, or I used to when I could walk well, in my fingers weren’t so arthritic. Oh well life goes on. Nice work here, Well written.

You really found quite a grand list! Perhaps here is more gray in the world than black or white!??

That last line says so much… the world needs a little more grey in my opinion.

Love the changing mood in this…the list shifts just as the color grey has a myriad of shadings between white and black. These words especially resonated with me:
“s gray for some
is a cloud
a vapour
a spirit
a far-flung hill
is never just black and white.”
