"White Buffalo" by Susan Pearl

There is a picture on the wall of my doctor's office that simply carries me away,
I think I could look at it all day,
As the picture catches my eye,
The time in the waiting room flies by.


All I know is that there is something so special about this white buffalo.
It is pictured at night under moonlight,
The white buffalo is standing at the edge of a partially frozen pond,
The flawless white snow laying where no tracks of any kind have been placed upon,
Undisturbed, quiet with gentle gray clouds floating in front of the moon,
It captures a moment in time that the heart knows will be leaving soon.
This white and gray vision of these two variating colors create a mystic scene,
Without the use of my favorite colors of blue, red and green.
It truly is one of the most unique pictures I have ever come across,
To describe this wintery freeze frame my words are at a loss.
Like a teacher teaching and explaining something new,
There is more and more for me in this picture coming into view.

And there it is, Ah Yes, no guess, as I know what is so special about the white buffalo,
It is there to remind me of the rare moments in time,
Like a temporary opportunity that is free for me to see,
A rare moment in time that is special to find,
It is here and then it will disappear,
Like a rainbow, like seeing a white buffalo.
