Four by Four

She dreamed of winter
Frost adorning window panes
At night, the marshmallows
Slept in hot cocoa.

She watched the petals
Like seasons, they fell
One by one, alone
We tended the shrine.

Fireflies pierced summer's darkness
With teardrops, golden, painting
A world in warmth
A heart at peace.

Spring awaited our arrival
With blossoms and lanterns,
Coloring the silver grass
With our family portrait.
