Between Hues and Greys

As my brief escapade
reaches its epilogue
I recall—
the bright neons,
the gentle pastels,
the reflecting hues

Some revealed
a clear sky
some unfolded
deeper shades
while others
left shadows cast
as I stepped into
crowds and cultures

I arrive at a juncture
of hues and greys

Unsure—
if the trip left me
illuminated
or unchanged

Or perhaps—
I should restart
another journey
or let it rest

Another one—
this time
to walk differently—
less hurried
fewer hues
