As Simple As Complex Can Be

Shades of grey on waters dance
to highlight brighter circumstance
For if the hues held only blue
no color else comes shining through
As tears contrast a smiling face
with stories told on cheeks they grace
a shout to silence whispered fear
those echoes rippled far and near
As simple as complex can be
these thoughts are caught and set us free
From lettered speech and words to mind
a fevered pitch of patient time
We all are death by life's design
redeemed though burns reflect remind
Scarred until we're smooth as silk
straight the gait to find your tilt
The rhythmed dream we dare to dance
to highlight brighter circumstance
