On or Off, Hot or Cold
Day or Night, or so you’re told
Hard to know which way to go
Right or Wrong and Yes or No
Life’s not all extremes, I say
It’s in-between and mostly gray
Absolutes of Black and White
Bookend all the gray in light
Each hue found across that reach
Contains varying amounts of each
Some hues are pale, others quite dark
Doom and gloom, or bright and stark
Some differences subtle, some plain to see
Others swirl in confusion, like cream in tea
Seek to find those shades that dwell
Between extremes of Heaven and Hell
You may understand this all some day
When your hair, like mine, is mostly gray
I understand...
