The Day, The Gray, and The Listless Night

today the light has fallen dim
the colors have drained from the world
cascading shades of black and grey
are sharpened only by grayish highlights
is seems as though my shadow has left me
to transcend this day alone
without the light to shine my path
the darkness shall scratch at my back
I do not like this day today
as the wanting colors fade from my eyes
listlessly I stare into my own soul
trying to find some spark of light
