RANDOM WEDNESDAY

It's a dream. No, it can't be true! I am struggling to believe that some moments ago we started Year 2016 and now, we're in the 11th month. Just when the year started to make sense, it wants to run away😢. Let me wish you Happy New Month regardless of how fast the year seems to have run by. I guess I should just accept the reality and make the best of the remaining days... You could join me too😄.
Below is a poem that has absolutely NOTHING to do with what's above. That's why it's #RandomWednesday. 😁😁😁

SHADES OF GREY
Grey: a blend of black and white
Grey: a color filled with shades and grades,
It aids my once-true maids
In their service to evil Hades.

Simply a mark of obscurity
Grey would not fade;
A sign of wisdom and maturity,
For black, the aged would not trade


It’s only a mirage;
Just a creation of an illusionist’s mind
For how shall one rest in the valley of indecision?
To be white, he chooses not
And to be black, he welcomes not

Overlapping streaks of smoke;
Evaporating puddles of dusk
Shades of grey: just a poke
Into the musk
That clouds the air.

  4. That valley of indecision is usually more comfortable than the hills on either side. Nice!

  5. @Jimi and Ife, your question took me back in time to 4 years ago when the poem was written. #scratcheshead The once true maids refer to GOOD attributes or traits (represented by the colour WHITE) which are now evil
