White.
The gossamer ghost gliding across the room.
The stark light of walking into the sunshine on a summer day.
The screech of a hawk circling its prey in the meadow.
The answer.

Black.
The shapeless shadow following at my heels.
The vast darkness of the cloudless midnight sky.
The incessant chirp of frogs at dusk.
The answer.

Grey.
A repeated dream that haunts the consciousness.
An unreachable beast glaring between the shrouded trees.
A muffled whisper at a crowded bus stop.
The question with no answer,
The problem with no solution,
The decision with second thoughts.
