Grey Matters

Inspired by my friend Pete and my wife Lizzy

Grey Matters 7.29.20

The grey matter in our brain
Is needed to see, hear and speakĀ 
Is needed to decide and emote
And so, it matters


As we grow old and grey
We acquire experience and wisdom
To pass on to others
And so, grey matters


We prefer black and white
Not the nuance of grey
But in grey lies reality and truth
And so, it matters


Grey creates who we areĀ 
Grey creates wisdom
Grey creates truth
And so, grey matters
