First Line: I never saw their color, only light
Last Line: To lead me through this maze of fairyland.
Subject(s): Gardens & Gardening; Love; Soul
I never saw their color, only light—
Two lanterns at the gateway of her soul.
Blinded, I staggered past their mystery
And found the vivid glow still dazzling bright
Within the garden. Lost, I begged her hand
To lead me through this maze of fairyland.
