Lavender and cream

To read lavender and cream
To see two colours in a dream...



To hear leaves in the wind, a cough sharp as a sting
To feel soothed by the shoosh-shooshing

To wonder who named the wind
Is lavender ice-cream a thing?

To worry as long as a piece of string
To stop short as a shower, drip, drip, dripping

To remember what it is to wonder
To want to be younger

To see two colours in a dream
Lavender and cream
