Coloring Greying

After “With a Blessing Rather Than Love Said Nietzsche” By Adrienne Rich

By R. Cary

Measuring my morality as a compass thrown up high

A directional needle beckoning my point of perception

Beyond the clouds pressuring Gods assume interjection

As presumptions loom over my transgressions where I 

Reside, this needle of truth lighting my path when choices

Become obscure and grey covers goodness and night

Blinded and confused my moral boundaries are tested

Resting against the backdrop of my faithful pointed

Perceptions living behind pressured clouds of justice

As a form of atonement living in this compass of morality

When moral conflict arises in our lives and conviction

Is unclear only in trust our blind faith will let us heal

Feel our paths through conflicted choices with answers

We simply cannot know of grey coloring our lives
