Protective coloration


You kind of have to squint to see it: 
The mountain’s snow-capped peaks 
Reflecting back the colors of the sky 
Are almost lost; so perfectly camouflaged. 
I’ve seen relationships like that — 
A person whose impact deserves to be huge,
 Becoming almost invisible 
 In the miasma of otherness; 
It’s only time and familiarity 
That helps us know the magnitude 
Of what is being hidden behind 
 That protective coloration…
