Wind on my smile
As the trees flicker by
In shades of pine and poplar
Life's rich dyes.

Paint my world in swirls
Of joy and sorrow
But I am white inside
The hues are all borrowed.

I am white as snow
Blinding as the starlight
I am just as cold, but
Look warm on unreachable heights.

Wind on the willows
As the vines chime like bells
I am white as the clouds in Heaven
Yet I remind myself of Hell.
