Stained Glass By Maggie Lilly

Wanna just buy a house in the woods and make it ours? With goats, horses, and bright red birds?

Purple flowers and vines growing on the ground And a garden that looks like a jungle of blossoms. We can just make everything around us beautiful. We can paint our walls with any masterpiece that comes to mind. We can have glow in the dark stars on our ceilings. Rope swings on our trees, along with white woven hammocks. Strange wallpaper in our bathrooms. Tea cups shaped like flowers and plates with fairies painted on them. Huge bookcases filled with books about death, adventure, love, loss, and hope. We can have doorstops in the shape of rabbits and clocks that are three times the normal size. And each chair at our table can be a different shape and color. We can go outside to paint together and our artwork will make it farther than just the fridge Because I’ll hang it on the walls. Our front door can be forest-green. All of our windows can be stained glass. And we can have thousands of hummingbird feeders and bird baths. So if you wish, we can always see and hear them sing.
