Green fields and valleys
where I lay down my head,
Green, green grass upon my cheek
And the sound of a sigh
as you breathe,
The skylight lingers on freckled skin
the brands of summers already spent,
The meadow where we sleep
and the air which you breathe,
And your hands folding,
fingers folding,
the universe folding
in on me, skylight twinkling,
Green, green, green.
"...But to me the darkness was red-gold and crocus-coloured, With your brightness, And the words you whispered to me, Sprang up and flamed—orange torches against the rain. Torches against the wall of cool, silver rain!" ---Summer Rain, Amy Lowell
