The Whitest White

White like a great egret or a swan
Head held high, feathers in order
Posing for the avid birdwatcher
White like polar ice sheets or fresh snow
Like the coldest days of winter
When your nose hairs freeze together
White like the very blankest of blank pages
Awaiting the writer’s worlds and words
Like the exhilarating innocence of newborns
Opening their eyes for the first time
Like the comforting softness of pillows
Holding weary heads in their embrace
White like the whitest paint ever made
Which keeps our warming Earth cooler
By reflecting sunlight better
