Can You See It?


White is beautiful. It is bright, blinding white That fills the cold days of winter. It is the swirls of white That cover the skies on a sunny day. It is sweet, irresistible white That seasons our morning coffee and tea. But white alone is nothing. Black is beautiful. The mixture of all colors form The vastness that is our universe. A black that brings Sleep and peace and quiet. A shade with no other shade Brings intensity to our eyes. But alas, black alone is nothing. Look at the zebra running wild While young Susie plays the piano. Watch the panda slumber away As the killer whale kills its kill. The penguin waddles And the Dalmatian barks. Put on your tuxedo, Take a bite of the Oreo. Open your eyes to the nature That screams in anguish for you to see The unity of black and white.
