between paths of sunlight.

Loving the cool feel of the violets and dandelions on my toes.

Planes ease onto runways

She was lacy and soft, and a delight to their eyes.

And away you went, where He was
In a building with stained glass windows
Is He only there for you? Sad really.

Or your face, tricolor, pressed against the glass,
I can see you even in the dark garden,
But now our garden games are past.
