I watched her feet play tricks on the yielding grass below
Dancing atop each blade
Toeing the flower petals where they lay
I watched her braid daisies into necklaces for us to wear
Pouring silver starshine into lily cups when the sun fell
Delicate wings unfolding from between her shoulder blades
Fluttering slightly every other moment
I watched her pull the moonbeams here and there for spotlights
Teach the spiders to weave
I watched her celebrate
Drawing circles with her breath in my hands
Painting murals on her skin with the morning dew
Saplings nodding at her approach
Toads and badgers nipping at her tiny ankles
I watched her blossom slowly
Sunrise yellow and blue
I watched her spin my skin into a thousand sparkling rivers
