Gray Eyes


Great….

Gray is the prompt of the day

And gray is the way I feel today! 

Ha! Why, is a question I ask myself too

If I cannot answer the question, then who???

***

I know, I know and I’ve known I know 

 But where does one that crown bestow?

A head full of gray?

At office, a bad day?

A friend who does betray?

Or a combo as they say today?

               ***

Gray head, heavy with unlived years…

Gray eyes, bright with unshed tears….

Gray skies, heavy with  clouds menacing ..

Gray tmrw,  pray what will you bring???

    Quite good. I feel a bit grey myself 😉. The sunshine’s gone and it’s cold . Sigh

    Love this poem, Aruna. Lovely rhyming throughout and it also speaks of something a lot of us go through – going through the challenging days. I do feel grey head when I am having a long day at the office, or when things don’t seem to go right in the office. Or when I don’t get a good night’s sleep 😀 Hope your day wasn’t too grey and it got better 🙂
