DECEMBER 28THE 2017: SECOND FALL - THE REAL DEAL

Takes only a day or two at most
White velvet to be stained
Turn gray, patchy black.
Soft to harsh
Smooth to rough

Scrape its bosom:
White bleeds black
Black streaks on her face
Smears from her tears?
Aging of fallen snow
And our winding path
Through life…
What happens
To our hearts in
40
50
60 years…
Then, when and if comes
The second snow
The real deal
Mature, soft, robust flakes
Pure, light, innocent

Dancing in the air
Elegantly
Confidently
Patiently
Lovingly…
In an hour or two at most
All streaks, scrapes and black
Embroidered back into
Soft, smooth, velvet
Pure, light, innocent
The real deal
Can happen to
Our souls, no?
Can heal all
Wounds and scrapes…
I should share this with my patients.
