Large with leaves of
green on a background of
blue,
it holds and envelops the most
sacred thing of all
From the ceiling
paint chips of white fall
and through a screen filters a light yellow hue
that bounces off white skin in patterns askew.
One is lean,
beautiful, passionate, and tall
the other is
vernal, lovely, and small.
Pure and
perfect although the minutes are few,
an action with only one consequence
obtaining the greatest
freedom in life
freedom to live
happily ever after
making decisions based on their own sense
destroying all traces of grief and strife
leaving only the sounds of innocent
laughter
