The Beauty of Gray

People wake seeing a beautiful morning
a day to be thankful for, to love
though the day is gray and dismal
but not I

days to be thankful for are days
filled with sun, vibrant colors
birdsong in the air
my days

today for me was different, amazing
after sleeping soundly within
a cocoon of dreams
light with bliss

the day a typical winter gray morn
was stunning shades of gray
that cast a pallor over all
it touched

even shadows did not evade it
merging with the landscape
& holiday lights muted mists
in gray fog

but it was all a beautiful morning
as I greeted shades of gray
nature’s subtle watering in
colors of gray
