White Coat Refracted

White Coat Refracted
With ivory sleeves and strands devoid of dye
Suffused with light your fabric it doth shine.
If I could strip your seams to next untie
Then would your threads tell stories that were mine?
Like light refracted yields its many hues,
Your weave unbound too cedes a hist’ry vast.
How fortunate I am to now infuse
Your essence with my own distinctive past.
It is the blending of our legacies
That to this bond imparts a mighty force.
My hope remains that ours might serve to ease
The journeys others trek upon this course.
For this alliance is not mine alone
It influences ev’ry person shown.
