Gloomy clouds of gray and white,
why are you not so bright?
In a sea of blue and gold,
why have you not more colors to behold?
In the water of blue and green,
fish are far more colorful than they seem.
Why is it not the same for you
while trapped in a sky of various hue?
You could brighten someone's day
if you were pink or orange as you sailed away.
Through a sky of so much wonder
that you should be so deprived of color is a blunder.
Do you cast a jealous gaze at the world
when you hold no more color than a pearl?
For all its luster, a pearl is a stone of white.
However, if you please, in the right light...
A rainbow is there to be seen.
Colors of far more than blue and green.
A lovely ribbon of hope to light up the sky
and sure to catch the attention of every eye.
Gloomy clouds of gray and white
why are you not so bright?
In a sea of blue and gold,
why have you not more colors to behold?

A Book For November
“I can’t believe I married someone so useless!” The screaming had started again, but, for once, Gabriel barely heard it. His mahogany eyes were fixed on the letter in his shaking hand. His heart was on the floor and he felt as though he could step on it if he moved.
