Grace of Grays


Gray is Grace

 

Let it be the gloomy day’s sorrow that falls upon my cheek 

Rather than two darknesses enveloping my world at once 

Allow darkness to fade as light rises from moon to sun, nothing beside 

But singing never felt the uncomfortable warmth of lips

And dancing had yet to spark joy in any soul

The town knew it was mourning grace and so it did

It did so for her, only her, gray

An offering of grace never thought entirely through

Yet she felt alone in her own presence 

In her displeasure they sparked an uncontrollable pain

An uncontrollable gray and they named it grace

It took away feelings and the emotion lingered nevermore

Every purity turned to grace and for this she was adored

And because your presence no longer holds her own hands

She stays in gray

A non radiant grace
