Nuance

 

the seedling

         in black soil

 

the raindrop

         on a petal

 

a couple walking

         hand in hand

 

a lone tree

         in a meadow

 

eyes gazing

         at the starlit night

 

a stranger

         walking home

 

a bus stop

         in the moonlight

 

a park bench

         near a stone

 

often, we do not see

         we prefer what’s black and white

 

the in-between, uncertainty,

         the gray enriches life.
