Truth
Sometimes it’s so loud
you can’t hear it.
Sometimes it’s so soft
it makes the heavens stand still.

A crowded kindergarten room
filled with trucks and dolls.
It is Play Time,
the hour past Coloring Time
and right before Nap Time.
The crayons and papers
have long been put away.
The smiling people,
stick trees, puffy clouds and corner suns,
all finished and forgotten,
except by the girl with the blue crayon.
Her friend pleads her to come
play with Barbie,
but the young artist says,
“The sky’s not done.”
“Color just the clouds
like everyone else,”
her friend replies.
But the artist continues drawing,
moving the stubby crayon back and forth
across the expanse
until the entire background
is filled in.
