shadows creep in often
childhood dreams
into adulthood
people and rivers
always in shades of gray
never having changed
but all long gone
rooted down and deep

Very true……clarity is probably the key. Despite shades of gray, always quite clear.
Funny how some things never seem to leave, or perhaps part of me will not relinquish…layers worth of shrinkwrap.
