Crossed Lines

By Rhea Rouseau

We starred in a forlorn house

A folktale scheme, an anonymous pole.

Sheer mystic, yet poetic mistakes

That's where the colors go,

Far and beyond.

The grass went green, with dandelions too

The flowers were big, the birds all blue.

A forgotten world, where You and I

Drew our first crossed lines.

Facade of waters, a long lost time

All those pleasant people saying goodbye.

Athena’s waterfall all over my heart

If I only knew how the colors would drift apart.

We painted the houses

Recreated the skies, thunder and water

when we never really cried

A magical world where You and I

Drew our first crossed lines

We fought and we tore

The whole world where You and I

A peaceful gesture for our first crossed lines
