Grey

I like the colour grey

Its neither dark nor white

Pushing past the extremes it shows hope

Like night offers dreams

Days the bricks of reality

Grey neither hurts nor breaks

Nor pretends life is a bed of roses

Grey is just grey – simple, unpretentious

If you wish to embrace it…its there for you

If you wish to ignore…it doesn’t mind

It has its moments…its corners…its safe haven

Its on its own even if you take that a mistake 

It does not weep…and if it does the tears 

Don’t show because it’s just grey

Neither too dark nor pristine white

It doesn’t laugh either if you pat it with care

Because it’s a shade which does not have

A shade …. It’s just there… not too deep

Not too shallow…not  disablingly dark

Not too blindingly shimmering white

Its that colourless colour  you may love

You may choose to hate…or you may just be

Indifferent…it’s absolutely up to you

I am that grey , you know

That unapologetically unperturbed grey
