Striving to see the white - v3
Bright sun overhead, almost blinding,
reflecting, refracting off the ice, the snow,
driving by quickly on the roadways
on the thin ribbon of asphalt
beside the fields, within the forest,
striving to see the white
in all its beauty, its grandeur.
Striving to see the white
not merely white, solid,
so many shades of color
of texture, of dimension
snow not a monolith,
monochrome, tonal qualities,
a palette of infinite hues.
Glare in our vision
overwhelming synapses,
driving by quickly
striving to see the white
all of its shades, its textures,
offering so much, revealing,
if we only look more closely.
