Black and White .... a poem

I am thankful that I am able to put into words the emotions of a world in change  
when nothing is black and white anymore.... my morning writing below..



Black and White


 Your black and white is showing
It is as clear as night and day
The line is drawn to mark the spot
No space for gray to play.


Sure, things went a bit awry 
Our emotions went astray;
Yet gray is where our hearts did meet
While black and white were kept at bay.


Gray was the expanse of love
Where songs and poems grew wings
The place in time where fairies swept
The place where angels sing.


The white was where your spirit lived
Light and free and soft
Above the lurking shadows
Where dreams were kept aloft.

Black, a dark foreboding place 
Where shadows dwell at large
The dim veil of a promise broken
Flowed above and fully charged.


Return to gray where beauty blooms
Transparent in its all
Safe from the depths of a colorless world
Oh, listen deep and hear the call.




The end.
