You will never
Treat the same patient twice
As while you treat them,
They metamorphose
Into an abundance of themselves
Manifesting in the patient as an artist,
As an athlete,
As a husband or wife,
Or all of them at once
And like the stained glass
Found in the Alhambra
Each shard bends light a little differently
Despite encompassing the glass mosaic ceiling as a collective
Over time, each piece obtains its opportunity to shine
And illuminates with splendor
Although depending on the season
Some may hibernate, while still being present
With each visit, I always look forward
To learning more
Competing interests
The author declares no conflicts of interest.
