A View Of The Snowy Mountain

It resembles a snowy mountain range
That white crumpled sheet
Elegant in its simplicity
A Realistic model
Of peaks and valleys

In my admiration
Of this honest
Piece of art
Artistry spawned from life itself
Dexterity by the cosmos

I nearly miss it
The truth
The veracity of the exhibit
The message

I stop
I study
I look deeper

A torrent of understanding
Pours down my soul
The last morsels of dignity
Greedily gobbled up
By my awkward gaze

A piece of art
Lays still on that hospital bed

Alone
