I don't think I have this "preserved" anywhere, so I thought I would do that here. This painting and poem was my submission for last year's "Poetic Expressions" contest at the Gallery of the Arts. The idea was to pair a poem and painting, for one to inspire the other. I started with the painting and wrote the poem based on it:
"Study in Greys"
Greyness broke our footfall,
One brick down and one brick back.
Once the clay washed off the peak
Falling grey, then white, then black.
The graves are where the bones
Of ash collected when we wept.
We built the walls around our heart
To protect the ones who slept.
