Watching silently Shifting between the black and white And settling for the grey The color of the rain clouds Of the pebbles in the stream Of the shells on the sea shore The color of wisdom The perfect neutral between the extremes Giving more room for my thoughts to swim And my mind to breathe Unlike the confinement and eternity of black and white Where everything is certain and nothing left to see Peeping through the grey keyhole I watch the world recourse and rebirth Filled with possibilities and conjectures Of scintillating conversations, debates and paradigm shifts Ridding all the permanence And accepting the constant that is change I moult my feathers and grow new wings And fly away into the grey.
