Once upon a time there was a blackboard
that got written on and erased so often
it began to look grey. So many words and pictures
were smudged and layered upon one another
until nothing made sense
and it could no longer be used.
One day a kind person stood by it
and traced a single finger in curls
across the sad surface. Very little
of the grey muddle came away but the
gentle shapes were drawn slowly
and with care until the mess
was so beautiful it no longer mattered.
