Gray to the Bay

Rain, rain, rain.
Gray day abound.
Rich, wet,
Soaking the ground.

My soul is parched,
I drink in the rain.
Hungry and thirsty.
Feeding the sane.

I wander the gray,
Searching for air,
Tears from heaven,
I answer the dare.

Look up and pray,
Forever blessed,
The gray is a time,
Faith is the guest.

We wander our paths,
Into the light,
Forever we seek,
What lies in our sight.

Out on the edges,
The answers do lie,
Do not conform,
Truth will pass you by.

I stand in the gray,
Orange and reds,
Lie on the edge,
Dance in the head.

Towards the light,
I do so walk,
Running no longer,
Hope I stalk.

First steps wobble,
Scratching the itch,
Slowly I stumble,
I lie in the ditch.

Laughing with glee,
I can only see,
Red blood running,
Pulsing from the knee.

Out of the gray,
Into the red,
I bleed and I laugh.
Thoughts swim in my head.

Move forward dear soldier,
Time holds no key,
Hope, faith and love,
If you chose to see.

Rain, rain, rain,
Forever the gray.
Parts before me,
Come swim in the bay!
