Tess plays her guitar in the bright garden...

Tess plays her guitar in the bright garden -

The wind blows summer over the rooftops -


Birds sing in the drowsy trees -

I wear the shirt Jane gave me -


I remember watching swallows -

Waking to hear the dawn call to prayer -


I opened the window to a glimpse of heaven -

I drew water from a depthless well -


Tess looks up -

She smiles her dazzling smile -
