SHADES OF GREY
Timeless melancholic beauty
Reveal a dedication to language-
Reflection through self
Beyond themes and trends
A trust in what is real and what is there
His women viewed and frozen deep somewhere in his
darkened mind
Thoughts are carefully chosen before he commits his image to life
He follows light
To where shadows define his vision
He meets with dialogue of the past image makers
Like himself are there in his work
As he works with them to find himself
Time beyond self is irrelevant
Only light and shadow persist
We see the past recognition from memory
Yet he leaves us room to follow the self
Find something there that also is ours
Slow distant silent
Timeless melancholy beauty
