Forgiveness

Vince White 1960 (Texas)

Once, blossomed a cradling corsage
nourished by arrays of imminent fears.
Wilted by the rhythm of a delicate heart,
redirecting dreams - her trembling palms
granting asylum as she wept.

Reflecting on placid waters
the absence of which, mirrors the morning gray.
Swirling currents beneath, elude a life of descending depth
plagued by the endlessness above.
