If white is for life
And black is for death
In-between colors
Of the black and white

At the verge of black
You may see a shade;
So overwhelming
At times demanding,

Look deep into it
Then you will see all
The long strides of time …
Blowing over yet,

Greener than the grasses
Deeper than moss green
Yellower than yolks
Darker than pea green

Awesome kind of tone
A dream of all seeds
Difficult to tag
Or ascribe a name;

With it comes wisdom
And patience; Grey is
Penultimately
Just more than a shade.
