Grey
There was a grey man.
Trees,
Birds,
Deer,
Children,
Sherbet skies,
Water...
Silence!
But...there was a grey man.
By the trees,
Watching,
Still,
Fading,
Reappearing,
Protecting...
Stop!
There was a grey man!
Approaching,
Grey followed,
Fading...
There was...
ThEre WAS a GreY mAN!
Stabbing,
Tearing,
Biting,
Eating,
Throwing,
Drowning,
Strangling,
Staining...
There was no grey man.

Powerfully terse, and the stanzas so skinny! You're not afraid to experiment with format, which I admire

I was hoping someone would appreciate that line. But the sky does look like that sometimes. Thank you.

Thank you. The meaning is all up to you, as well as the outcome. Thank you for appreciating what I tried to do.

I am so glad you spell it daemon. I thought I was alone and assimilated to demon. I'll surely start spelling it daemon, once again.
I have no comment on your theory, because I like for people to interpret works different. One person could see a crazy man, another could see daemons and yet another could see a critique on our health care. But thank you such for sharing.
You have quite the humor. And thank you for commenting.
