not everything interesting
is full of color
I find myself residing
so often in the paleness
of the sky at dusk
fading from blues
and beginning the
slow sinking
in to grays
before it
gives way
tonight
I will study
the stillness and
the calming quiet
that makes room for thoughts
that would otherwise be trampled by the day

I like the ebb and flow of this one, Sherry,

Peter

thanks, Peter...just trying to unplug the block.

I can relate to this, Sherry, especially

Frosty:

I like the introspective tone here. We all need to sit back, take a deep breath, and reflect. We don't do that enough (at least, I don't). Thanks for the reminder.

Joe

Frosty, this is awesome. Every time I read it, I get to the end and realize I have not taken a breath.

I love how it closes down and then opens again.

Very well done.

Good read, Frosty, I thoroughly enjoyed this one.


Les

Mary,Joe, Aaron and Les, thanks for taking the time to read and comment. I haven't come up with anything at all in quite a long time, so I'm happy that something finally came out and that you guys think it's decent...

Sherry

bump for its attention to what we otherwise might miss.

thank you...I forgot about this one.

I like this poem. Very fluid.

Thanks, MG. I appreciate the read.
