Greyed
grey kissed her cloud
and I stood in the solitude
under the barren span
veined with drear
awaiting to pounce
on the lonely
darkness turned up the dial
exposed to the consternation
of the damned
"life be damned"
as salt reached down
the corners of my being
is that all I am
a wandering being?
purpose proposed to the night
an offering of hopes
too small
"I am too small"
under duress
a starless sky
wondering
will there ever be light?
after the fall
from grace
saving face to face
another wall
a bit to tall
to climb
so would again I fall?
or would one help
in a state of need
not asked to much
nor to bleed
from the coffers of your mind
only gifting of time
to breathe life
in so much a fading soul
sitting crossed leg
on the begotten toll
and toil
devoid of rain
or sun
awaiting someone,
something
yet begun
—dare come near
——or perhaps, dutifully run

You ain't no spring chicken, Brother,
and so Yeah,
maybe waiting (patiently?) is not the best strategy.
i hadn't noticed the hair color until now ---- now that You brought it up - lol

Sigh... I could definitely feel this one deeply. You capture the hopelessness, the struggle, the sadness and the grey so well. Just strolling through the grey too, you can take my hand as we search our souls for the right path.
