The gift


If I had to say anything, anything at all about her eyes, I'd say they were the moss' reflection in the lake. And as I stand on the bank dizzy under the quiet stream of her gaze, I know her father is waiting for us at home. I wonder, if pinned beneath a sheet of thin glass, would the color of her eyes and her lips stay true, like the monarch frozen forever in my study?
