Gray

Gray, nothing but gray. Gray skies and gray water.

While waiting in my school bus,

for my tech students to come out of Marine Tech at Seahurst Beach,

I always enjoy the view.

:     :    :

On bright sunny days the view is stunning.

White snow-capped Olympic Mountains,

the deep ultramarine blue of Puget Sound,

and varigated emerald greens of the islands and shoreline.

Throw in some gulls and crows,

with a sprinkling of ocean going ships or tugs and barges,

and you have perfection.

:     :     :

Today, well, not so much.

Actually, there wasn’t much of anything.

Just gray.

:     :     :

If you live or have lived in the Northwest

you know what heavy drizzle can do.

Like soak your coat in a couple minutes and,

change a beautiful view into a sheet of gray.

Here looking out ‘at’ Vashon Island, there is gray,

with just a bit darker gray line at the shoreline.

Above the shoreline is gray sky,

beneath is the gray salty waters of Puget Sound.

Gray.
