All around me the world is only gray;
A sketch of a falling shadow
That speaks with its silence.
And the wind is just a dream
As it haunts the chimes
Hanging outside my window.
The clouds spin and scream
With the light that shatters
And rains down from the sky.
I wish for a few moments peace,
But the chaos doesn't pause,
Doesn't listen to me at all.
If the sky were always just
A paint-splattered sunset
Of pinks and reds,
Wouldn't you eventually
Get tired of the color,
And want it black as night?
But still the world is standing still,
Just a charcoal drawing in
The book of time.

It's true. the world can be a dismal place at times. all the chaos of lights and colors can become overwhelming. you really capture this feeling well.
Good Write and God Bless

This world is pretty dismal you are right... Little hope is left with this fading shadow of a star that we may put ourselves as, or call ourselves, if we are being metaphorical. Anyway, a great piece that establishes the way the world is right now and how we are pretty lost at this precise time.
Dismal may be a good title, or something like it. Just to describe the word Gray. I find it a nightmare trying to pick titles for my poems as well. -
This poem shows that your writing covers more than just one subject... Thanks for dharing your talemt!
Sorry, I'm not good at finding titles... I initially call most of mine [Untitled] lol
Keep up the great work!

Very interesting, I loved the comparisons and yes, nothing exists without its opposition for not only would we miss it but those having never seen such would not even acknowledge that they were missing anything, knowing no different. As to the title, perhpas something like The Colour of Chaos? just a thought. Best of luck in this and all of your endeavors.
