"A Touch Of Gray"

"A Touch Of Gray"

Written by Chi Money

a creative mind, creates designs

so he raised his eyes, to paint the skies

but only saw sunshine or cloudy days

could only keep his head up or drown in rain

life out the window, tear drops roll down the pain

so broke out some paint that soaked out the frame

etched in stone.. was his notes to jesus

his intellegent touch was a stroke of genius

bringing to life, flat lands to canyons

as there was no middle ground for this man to stand in

but mind was colorblind, only saw black n white

sittin under the moon with his canvas by

standin by, until he would turn middle aged

n the dark hair on his light skin would turn a little gray

the pictures he painted, used to lack depth

til he put on the shades that would aid his last sense

had a new perspective, viewing from an open mind

as he approached to find everything he hoped in life

had to keep a straight mind, level with himself

cuz these pencils n pastels he wrestled with as well

found a problem, but more then two ways of goin at it

so composed a classic on a broken canvas

to show the masses what hes grown to grasp with

through the mid tones that honed stones to ashes

as eraser dust.. he hates as much

took his vision to another level.. as he raised the brush

to the big picture, now in high definition

dispised repetition..

which in light, gave new life recognition

to ratify what pacified half his life's wonders

now was inticed to give life through vibrant colors

his artform spoke a million words, yet too much to say

so brushed through a ton of paints, to become a saint

and signed his name at the bottom, with a touch of gray..
