Whiteness

Without it we don’t see light and shade Balanced it doesn’t blind us with its light Creatively it is has influence on the hue Its absence brings darkness without a clue No moon to admire from high in the sky Or light at night to guide us on our way The impact of it on our life is profound Everywhere you look it can be found You see it on every page and screen Surrounding every part of our being It’s here right now, even as you read Hugging the space around each letter and word ……………..Is the …………………. ‘Whiteness’ as is commonly referred Written for the 'Whiteness' contest 6/10/2012

Profound piece! Very much enjoyed it! --it truly does help us with perspective. It helps us see the little things---or rather the BIG impact of things---in life. Absolutely loved this. Thanks for sharing. :) Always, Laura

As a former graphic designer, I find this write about white right on the money. The white on a page is just as important as the words and images it surrounds! Kudos... love and happy thoughts, Jack xox
