Whiter than white

Whiter than white

They were gathering in the night,

people all together in the daylight.

Children were and are among, those

who love with passion, dedication

and more than ever, love of life.

In the silence, of the circle, someone is there,

in her presence, they know it.

She has a name,

somehow she can’t be named,

so they’ve understood.

She handles reality

more than they’ll ever acknowledge

and it makes no difference, at all.

She walks on the streets,

each and every day,

her face is among their road.

You are all, I ever wanted.
