She wore a red top-hat, with a rose<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">placed at the edge, and in her right hand, she held a bouquet of red roses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On top a blade of grass was a butterfly flapping its wings \u2013 a dazzling spectacle of a dance of<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">two weightless living fabrics. Tiny ants marched into anthills, swans swam gracefully in the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">lake, and delicate sparrows flew, gliding harmoniously up in the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sun was shining overhead, streaks of yellow and orange light tinting the endless blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet, in the battle of the armies of nature, the heat was nearing its impending defeat. Cold, icy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">specs of dust tickled the cheeks of those passing by, and the wind carried with it a warning of<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having made it across the dark oak bridge, the pair trotted across the field, holding hands,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">keeping close, with their mouths sunk deep in overcoats. Only, the cold hadn\u2019t much<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">bothered him. No, he was just immensely glad, joyful, even grateful to be here with his little<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soon, they sat down on the grass, laying down a clean cloth, and ate what he had brought for<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">her if she felt hungry \u2013 raspberry jam sandwiches and orange juice. The corners of her mouth<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">were now red and sticky from blots of jam. Seeing her eyes, eyes streaked with a blue so pure<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">and utterly innocent, a blue so heavenly, a blue of the vast oceans and lakes, a blue of<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">graceful peacocks and kingfishers warmed him. It was as if inside the little house that was his<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">heart, the fireplace was lit, burning only because of her gleeful face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, years later, whenever he sees her, this love is fortified (maybe sometimes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">overshadowed) by a feeling of respect. She moves, swiftly and confidently, speaking<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">diligently yet lovingly: one envisions a mighty goddess giving a chieftain commands, or<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">perhaps a mighty Valkyrie, alone, in the sweep of battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here he sits, rocking in his chair, eyes affixed on the decades old photograph, with his little<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">girl smiling back at him. The pleasant recollections of that journey across the water seize his<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">consciousness: as if his mind were submerged in a pool of blissful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An instant later however, the hairs on his body tremble restlessly, his muscles involuntarily<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">contracting, because there is now this indescribable cacophony of emotions. Inside the heart,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">agony, fear, regret form a swirling wind of black mass, frolicking with a mass of pure white,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">an entity comprised of love, joy, and comfort. A dance so violently destructive, his body<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">shudders, his heart quivers, trying to break free from this feeling, so wholly unnatural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But eventually the dance stops. He collects his thoughts as his little girl approaches the door \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">all grown up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHi, my little bug\u201d, he says, the edges of his lips curling into a smile resembling a crescent<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">moon.
