White Is

It is spring. White is blooming abundantly on the ornamental pear tree which she stands nearby. Her beau kneels to slip a diamond on her finger. Above them, wisps of clouds decorate the radiant April sky of this perfect day. It is summer. White is elegantly trailing a June bride whose swan neck is adorned with pearls. Doves are flying, and beneath her beautiful veil her smiling mouth reveals teeth that sparkle and are as white as her rose bouquet It is fall. White is softly glowing - illuminating a cottage with ivory azaleas. Luna, in her fullness, peeks down through the leafy limbs of aspens onto the couple’s new white picket fence. It is winter. White is magically falling glistening all around them. Beneath December’s setting sun they trudge. Laughing, they fall backward in the snow. Angels they are making as they glow.
