Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: The Gallery of Gray

In a gallery filled with art so divine

Each piece o display, perfectly designed

Sculpture, paintings, all in shades of gray

Because to me, colors hidden away

As I wandered amongst the crowd

i felt a sense of being lost in a shroud

Blending in, trying to see that they see

but all I saw was gray, no colors free

People marveled at the details so fine

But to me, it all seemed to intertwine

I longed to see the hues and shades

That others saw in the artwork that fades

Then, amidst the quiet chatter and hum

I saw her, standing there so calm

her eyes, like oceans deep and blue

Pulled me in, a sense of something anew

She gazed at my mother's sculpture with intrigue

her eyes sparking a sense of fatigue

I watched as she walked out the door

leaving me longing for something more

Her eyes, like a waves crashing to shore

Left me wanting, longing for more

I followed her outside, but she was gone

Lost in a sea of faces, one by one

But her eyes lingered in my mind

A hint of colors that I couldn't find

in a world so gray and devoid of light

her eyes shone bright, a beacon in the night

I yearned to see her once again

To bask in the colors, to feel the gain

For in her eyes, I saw a world so true

A world of colors, a world so new

So as I stood in the sea of gray

I knew I'd find her again someday

For in a world so devoid of hue

her eyes painted a picture so true

And in that gallery filled with art

I found a piece that touched my heart

For in her eyes, I saw the truth

A world of colors, a world of youth
