Gray, Oh, Gray!
Katie Isherwood
Gray, oh, Gray!
The color of clay.
The color of rain,
The color of vain.
Whose song may only be sung
By those with none
A clear heart and sound mind,
With no beautiful song or rhyme.
Gray, oh, Gray,
The color of wisdom,
A color of ages,
A color with many shades.
Just as an actress
May change her costume,
A storyteller
Turns the page,
Or an artist
Wipes his slate clean,
Gray never holds onto the past,
And brightens with a thought
Of a new day.
