Subtle Shades - Detritus

Silently, I wait the tears to fall

Forlorn entity, none to all

Vale of anguish, fragrant solitude

Bathed in sadness, sorrows interlude.

There is no black, no white, no grey

There is no light, no dark, no dussk

Only subtle shades of pastels.

A distant choir, a subtle melody

Fading perfume, haunting memory

Like stars fell in the snow

Eternal fires no longer glow.

There is no black…

Only subtle shades of pastels.

Silently, I wait the tears to fall.
