HIS EXPLANATION by HELEN FIELD WATSON

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.
