Area Grey

Area grey

Area grey

To deny it is

As if to say

To deny it is

To lose your way

Lost along the borders

Of black and white

Wrong and right

Day and night

When all you need

To find your way

The path that takes you

Area grey

 

Black and white

Night and day

Try to leave no room

For area grey

 

If Yin and Yang

Would have their way

Baby lamb wakes to thunder

But a black sheep from down under

Wakes to lightning

Finds it frightening

What they fail to understand

So does the baby lamb

Under wool of white

A trembling skin

In terrible fright

No different than

Not day and night

Down under kin

In lightning’s light

 

Right or wrong

Poem or song

Leave no room

For area grey

But it doesn’t need

To be that way

Who writes these rules anyway

Nature ignores them every day

Shadows under the sun

In the pitch black night

Still the stars and moon

 

But to Yin and Yang

They leave no room

No room for area grey

Stories of fiction

A living contradiction

Not quite

Not quite

So black and white themselves

If they were to blend

Though they never intend

But woven together from

Beginning to end

They share the ‘Y’ and ‘n’

They share

An area grey

They share the ‘Y’ and ‘n’

They share

Area grey

 

Area grey

Area grey

To deny it is

As if to say

To deny it is

To lose your way

Lost along the borders

Of black and white

Wrong and right

Day and night

When all you need

To find your way

The path that takes you

Area grey
