a symphony of gray
can disorient the way
to attempt to envision
the cold Light of day
when you’re fully surrounded
by restrictions compounded
and faculties compounded
our bodies and psyches
exhausted and frayed
by the absence of power
which renders each hour
to feel like a day
passing by in a fog
an indecipherable bog
making each simple motion
an unbearable slog
but our sighs
and our tears
are still lucid
and warm
and they help
to remind us
amidst this foul storm
without power from without
there's still Power from within
like the One giving Light
behind grayness so grim
the Blueness that peaks
through the curtain of cloud
the Beauty that speaks
through the whispers endowed
with the Wisdom revealed
in the hearts humbly bowed
not seeking or needing
acclaim from the crowd
but proclaiming through Presence
the Silence aloud
the science of Mystery
which transcends the violence
and hubris of the proud
these simple Signs
and wondrous Wonders
inspire and empower us
through crises and plunders
to look not at surface
but all that lies under
the Stream below ice
the Spirit beneath strife
the Love overflowing
empowering all Life
the Rainbow display
flowering out of the gray.
