Gray Immersion

I looked into the gray
Realizing here was the fantasy
Gray immersion
Somber light
Cast upon everything
A slightly clear dusting
Steeling all it cloaked
So that one has to
Look at an angle
To truly see anything
A look of mistrust
Even with sweet sounds
And sweeter memories
Flowing through ear and mind;
It’s no wonder
So many withdraw.

To the infinity of it all
My thoughts turned
I was glad
I am very adept
At the art of seeing
Beyond
Inhibitions
The unexpected shock
Of what could follow
When one views the familiar
Finding something new each time
At will.

This gray immersion
How it strokes my soul
Allowing me to understand
How so many can find joy
Even in its grip so cold…

I realize now
That I am truly home…
