Dolphin Gray -
The color of my favorite
Crayola Crayon
At six years old
slightly blue-tinted gray catching my eye
the name sparking a familiarity —
Wonder of the graceful creatures kept me busy
In after school care
While I waited for my parents
To show them my fridge worthy art
Dolphin Gray -
The color of the sky
When it’s dreary and wet —
My favorite type of weather
Because there’s something so beautiful
About not being able to see what’s coming
From under the blanket of gray clouds
The color of the clouds
I no longer see regularly
In the corners of my mind —
Thoughts and feelings no longer
In greyscale
And now,
12 years later
Dolphin Gray is the color of his eyes
The sky before a storm in spring
When the weather is always a little unpredictable
But I can see what is coming —
Even through the fog of his soul
Of a man enshrouded in murk
But never fails to give sunshine to those
Who willingly dedicate their time
to him.
