Into White
Love was the heart
nestled in soft, white sheets,
beating with beauty,
and glistening with
rays of life.
Love are the lights
in a mother’s eyes
as she brushes the hair
of her young daughter
and then takes her
by the hand
to lead her daughter
into the world outside,
protecting her
with her mighty wings,
but nothing could protect her
from the darkness within.
And the mother’s love inside
slowly fades to black.
An angel dies
into soft, white sheets,
never to step foot
outside again
or to take flight
into the heart
of her daughter’s dreams.
Love is left broken,
in the deep white.
