Hues There are two ways of living with grief and sadness. We can refuse to admit their existence. And forever live out our lives in shades of grey. Or we may embrace them for what they really are. The profound hues of passion and compassion. Living out our lives in a spectrum so rich There are colors yet to be named. Grief is simply the Reds we call Crimson. Sadness is the greens Ten leagues below the surface of the sea. The purpose of touching another's soul, Is to leave a dab of color. THayes Dec. 2016
