we wanted pink stars over the castle,
maybe green.
chartruese my sister said
well it's your dream, go ahead
and so we did
colouring on Sunday afternoons
or at school with the paper passed out
and our very own crayons just before noon
and cafeteria food
deciding if turquoise blue
would make the scene
or turquoise green
and making sure
small flowers in the grass
o unsurpassed
would all be pink
and no mistake
and the lake the lake
cobalt blue.
I remember our content
as the day spent itself down
all candle wax proud
and melting
that free we were, like God
or someone close to Him
picking the colors for a world.
