We waited all night long for the sky
to open and sparkle
our fast crown of water ice.
Dear prism, if the sun allows,
I'm awash in your colors.
I'm afire with this vow:
There is nothing I want more
than to break bread with an artist's hands.
And if they be yours,
may earth, air, fire, and water
command the stars to assent, my heart to warm.
