The Whites

****A pure white poem and empty shops****

I asked a dog-walker for the short cut

to the local centre shop.

She told me 'Walk to the village green

then turn right.

A skip and a hop.''Thank you' I said, unknowingly

that the village green WASN'T green..

Everything was blanketed in a coat of snow, it was WHITE

where the green had been!

I followed the tracks and got to the shop

where crowds were milling about lost.

The bread and eggs they were looking for

could not be bought at any cost.

The shelves were bare, reminded me

of reports I'd seen on the telly.

Thirds World countries, very little food,

youngsters with hunger-swollen bellies.

Ah well, it's pasta for me tonightand tomorrow again, no doubt.

Those tomatoes in cans will be useful and,

I expect, the tin of beans will eke it out.

Tiny boxes with a big heart

Two Boxes

I have in my hands two boxes

Which God gave me to hold

He said,"Put all your sorrows in the black,

And all your joys in the gold."

I heeded his words, and in the two boxes

Both my joys and sorrows I store

But though the gold became heavier each day

The black was as light as before

With curiosity, I opened the black

I wanted to find out why

And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole

Which my sorrows had fallen out by

I showed the hole to God, and mused aloud, "I wonder where my sorrows could be."

He smiled a gentle smile at me. "My child, they're all here with me."

I asked,"God, why give me the boxes,

"Why the gold, and the black with the hole?"

"My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings, the black is for you to let go."
