in the low countries, Delft tiles shine, cobalt sky, Where Hendricks rows his painted boat.
A girl with hair like dandelion fluff, He sees him getting trapped in the morning mist.
Its net, the dance of silver scales, Sunlight reflects on the canals.
A silent desire, deep and strong, Pulls Hendrick back to where he belongs.
One day, one flower, one tulip red, Love floats on the stream, unspoken. He picks it up with a trembling hand.
He runs towards the shore and stands up.
A girl gets a crimson token. A smile that breaks, a long-broken dam. Under the windmills, the giants slow.
The promise of love blossoms only where tulips grow.
