That leads to the garden
Where you used to play for hours as a child
Blue and white sky through the green trees
Those were the only colors you knew,
Blue and green and white
Never azure or emerald or ivory
Those were colors princesses wore,
Not words people said
Now that you are older
You can see the shades of azure and sapphire
Through the shimmering, dappled emerald-and-gold leaves
And the ivory edges of the snow-white clouds
Like the colors in the big-kids’ crayon box
But can you still wear a crown?
