Not Living In The Grey

  

It’s hard to understand why would loved ones

Want to…

 

Tie my dreams to a sinking stone,

Shackle my heart to level land,

Tell my soul the world is flat.

 

Is it a fear…

That their lifetime of thinking inside the box was suffocating.

Or worried what “society” might think.

 

I for one don’t believe in societies rules of gray.

It’s silly really, I mean who decides what is right… what is sane.

 

What if I want to dance in the pouring rain?

Getting a little wet never hurt anybody.

 

I want to fly into a sky that can be any color

I want…

 

To sit upon the rainbow and watch

The ocean wave at me as my dreams

Make a splash

Watch the mountain point with envy

Wanting to climb my heart.

Show every winding road that my soul

Has no dead ends.

 

To think in the box society packs

Is a robotic way of thinking

And I am not programmed that way,

I’d rather have my circuits rust and have some color.

I’d rather let my battery run down and live on solar energy

So I could light the way like the sun to brighten a world of grey.

Loved this work. Follow your dreams, reach for the brass ring and if you lose at least you tried. Better to have gone over rocky roads with a smile than down smooth lanes with a frown and a heavy heart. Nothing is worse than living within yourself and the soul of dissension that will dwell there if you march to anothers tune. You know the beat of the drum that you want to follow. Needed this reading today. Must have been the hand of fate that steered me in this direction. Keep the gifted pen moving.

This is fantastic Dale! You've outdone yourself! I love the twist in words of the ocean waving at you and the mountain point, etc. Very well done! Bravo!!

Perfect expression of a desire to be true to yourself...to stand up to the world of convention. So hard sometimes to face those you respect and love and go against their will... Perfect...

Dance like the music never ends, F**k like a f*****g jack rabbit, Sing like a lark, speak like you'll die if you don't, and F**K THE MOTHER FUCKERS THAT DON'T LIKE IT. That's my motto anyway. Love ya!!! :-)

Your whole write was awesome but these two lines
spoke the strongest to me. The ones I can so relate to
and kinda goes back to it is better to have loved and lost
than to have never loved at all. When I'm gone from this
earth, right wrong or indifferent .... I DID IT MY WAY....

Really thank you for sending me to this write

Hugs and Luv my friend

Another wonderful write filled with imagery! Absolutely gorgeous how you put images of the world into this. There's nothing wrong with being different. Great job with this!

Yes, I think a big part of it is fear, and people thinking they are judges at time. But fearlessly you have woven together wonderful metaphors and that along with your narration give the reader a glorious trip taken through your words that come from the heart. Fly High R&R; you have much to a share with this world! ~ Jude :-)

Dale, this is wonderful, and it sends a wonderful message. Of course I liked the part about the rain the best, but then, that's to be expected. Wonderful write.
