Woman Wrapped in White

Women Wrapped in White is about a homeless woman I saw who was lying asleep wrapped in a white blanket on the footsteps of a church. This poem is dedicated to her.

“Women wrapped in white”

I saw a woman wrapped in white 

At the footsteps of Heaven's light 

The steps of judgment 

People walk by her, the women wrapped in white 

She must have been sleeping on the steps all night 

As she sleeps vulnerable to the world 

She is only protected by the cathedral walls

The voice of sympathy never calls 

For the women wrapped in white 

A color of innocence 

A world she lives in full of consequence 

She has no place to call home 

The blanket of white, all she may own 

She lays asleep waiting 

The final chapters of her stories awaiting

[Relic]

This is a sad one and reflects the reality of what we see too often. I like that you've given her a personality of sorts.
