Happy Holidays

With Christmas just a couple days away I feel the need to share. I wrote this poem yesterday and I have mixed feelings about it. I'm still unsure what it means to me. When I write, it is whatever comes into my mind. Most of my poetry is not premeditated. I hope you have a warm and loving holiday, with all your friends and family with you.

Merry Christmas , Dan

This Gray Day

A gray day like today
ample tones in black, white, and gray

images flashing over a landscape
images that take shape
images that awake

begin to breathe
like a warm summer breeze
blowing across my face
I look up to the red sky
I look down to the purple waters
out across the blue fields

god this is fate
with the pupils dilate
and rainbow colors that sedate
Grab my shoulder bag full of hate

toss it in the purple waters
advice of a wise-man's daughter
no more tears left to slaughter

on this gray day
this black and white
this hateful fright
this gray day
