'specks of White' - Tanka

canvass of color
like a slide show changing 
a testimony
of all my trials and heartache
specks of white, healing power...

Is this for the dream contest, Wilma? Wish I could interpret this for you, but just the fact that you find a "healing power" shows your strength and ability to overcome struggles. The canvas of color is most intriguing. Love, Carolyn
