Innumerable Rays
Her hair was just as gold
As the flowers she picked.
Middle of summer, everything
In full bloom.
Her first kiss was not far off
From these fields.
The nighttime reverie
Chasing fireflies and
Giggling into the arms of someone
She would love.
Her mother loved yellow
For the way everything
Reflected in a glorious light
From its shadow.
She too, had this effect
Basking everyone in love.
