Reflections of Gray

 

Reflections of Gray

By John W. Vander Velden

 

There can be no joy in this

Only disappointments and pain.

Looking through tear clouded eyes,

Hearing with desperate ears.

Waiting...

                  Waiting...

                                     Waiting...

 

It seems the worse,

The ending is certain

Yet the time unknown.

It is the between that is so difficult,

The between the then and the now.

And all the unknown that lurks there,

There between the then and the now.

So we must continue.

Waiting...

                Waiting...

                       Waiting...
