Pittsburgh’s Grey
April 12, 2016
I look up and it's white.
Not pearls of remarkable price,
Nor flowers of sweeten petals,
A white as pure can be,
Emotionless, lifeless, empty interpretation.
A veil over a view
Of almighty grace;
A sea glass on a beach
of a ghostly life.
-But white, a wedding gown is,
Of joy and baptized brides
The white, to dress of use can be.
Look up,
To all the white...
No! Owl eyes failed me.
A slimy blackness,
from outer space,
Rained.
The sky
Always grey, was never,
White.

Black and white are not colors. They have no life; but one reppresents the evil in the world while the other is good on earth. But truth be told, there is no white without a shadow and there is no black without a light. Like life, the sky is never one color. It changes. Even when it looks completely white, from a rainy day, the sky is never white but it's a rainbow, a rainbow of shades of grey, with different perspectives and different attitudes.
