Grey winter chills me, stops me, binds me

Like ice sliding into my body..freezing my soul

He discovers the heavenly pleasures of the world

Also he finds that dogs on ...

THE GREY BLACK NIGHT

The grey leaden sky covers the land casting a shadow over this sombre place.

Shadows leap from every tree and boulder until they seem to dance

everywhere you look.

Trees stand in stark silhouette against the sky, the wind makes them sway

and creek like skeletal limbs askew.

This is the gothic night of the beautiful colour of grey.
