Amid The Grey Shades

 

Wandering amid the grey shades

Seeking a glimpse of path to dawn

Sometimes the night lasts too long

And inside it something’s gone

 

I will not surrender my own sound

Nor suppress the suffered pain

But the things we lose just had to go

So we can replace renew regain

 

To bathe in the deepest solitude

To wander in one’s own need

To face the fear and frailty there

To feel from where we bleed

 

It’s always in those grey shades

Where the limits are all blurred

That we find ourselves in hiding

Until we're ready to be heard
