Pure White Poem by ratnaprabha raykar

Pure White

Rating: 3.2


Pure White

Pure white I cannot fathom
the multihues you hide within yourself

On a baby swathed in white
you take on the colour of innocence and joy

On a pious man
you are coloured with selflessness

On a doctor you take on the colour
of efficiency, confidence and dedication

On a nurse
You are service in person

A widow’s clothes tint you with
sadness and helplessness

A postmortemed body in white
wringes pain in the heart

Who are the real YOU
HE saw seven colours
But I see many many more
