Ambitions in Grey Scale

Grey and dark grey

how grey are the ambitions

in a grey scale?

Will strive for glory

and recognition of efforts to gain some edge,

when a few glorious minds and bodies

demonstrate their inherited or achieved exaltation,

when they show-off and there is a show-down;

the desires will reach an agitated, elevated state;

the world will be in my cupped hands

will what I would feel for what

would seem like eternal burning moments

 


And then will appear calmness

and serene desires like serene blue water

in the comfortable corner of cushions

and the fish-tank filled with blue water;

this is the world, this is what I had dreamed of

will what I would think as I will arrange pillows for a deep sleep

Sometimes, the world will turn another shade of grey

misfortunes, unfortunate events will come into play

in the mind: rising from deep within they will cover transitory

existence like the way clouds envelope the sky;

turbulent thoughts like a summer storm will destroy

some of my well-established suppositions;

soon enough I will emerge from such notions

Again and again

it’s a circle of grey shades

light to dark, dark to light

comes and goes

like cycles of business occupations;

I have no control over it

but usually act with pre-destined

methods when certain shades of greyness

take possession of me; little by little life moves on
