“Symphonies of Gray,” New Era, Feb. 1994, 51
Symphonies of Gray
Gray—
the lifelessness of
statues
buried in a museum.
The whisper of
snowfall
and shadows
playing silently
beneath the street
lamp.
Drifting smoke
of a dying fire.
The disappearing
notes of Taps
fading in the morning
air.
The hands of time,
slipping away.
