The Crane
August 26, 2012
Once a week you fold yourself
into a paper crane.
When it is complete
It leaps from unsteady hands
And settle in my soft, white dress.
I hold that crane until morning.
Warm, afternoons
I run and it flies beside me.
Cold days spent at fireside.
We smile, we laugh, we love
And for a while
it seems he will never end.
Then the crane flies away
For he belongs to a colorless world.
My crane turns back into the boy
And waits for Friday to come.
Perhaps if we survive this a thousand times
we’ll never again.
