Faster than it takes to think
realization flashes red
soft petals laden with fairy breath
and water from the spring

an evening starved from summer heat
a sunset in the mind
the healing hands forgiven
within the sands of time

nothings are written on a page
that shows its corner white
surround the inner masterpiece
a shield to lift and hide

the morning turns to evening
the sea tumbles on
petals continue on their way
and springs gurgle along

once upon a time there was
faster than was seen
a pretty picture painted red
that melted into green
