stained glass.

within the quiet corners of summer days passed,

colour fills every nook of my small world.

a stained glass mirage of primary hues,

shades of ribbons, painted across wooden floors.

patches dance in the hues of a warm afternoon,

in all of its fragile shades, dashes across the walls.

waves of an image most splendour could be found,

glinting amongst the stars, in all its broken forms.

a sunshine spill of melting tones,

in the hallway of my childhood afternoon.
