-fireflies that twinkle in the dark of a summer evening and sunsets that set the sky ablaze with a riot of vividly contrasting colors.
-rainbows that spalsh across the horizon in breathtaking displays of gaudy brightness, and stars that paint the midnight sky with countless pinpoints of distant light.
-daffodils in open fields that spread their golden glory over grand stretches of would-be-emptiness, and fragrant yellow roses that seem to gild the very air around them with cool, calm sweetness and grace.
-laughing children that radiate joy with reckless abandon, and freshly washed and powdered babies with sweetly puckered tiny mouths and velvety skin and downy peach-fuzz hair.
-long soft kisses in the rain that build in intensity with the fury of the approaching storm until they streak through my veins with all the passion and violence of the lightning that dances across the sky.
