Wonderland
There is a universe in her heart
a place so green and sweet
it could heal all
whose eyes lay upon it
And yet she keeps it tucked away
for those days
in which a fantasy is needed
a place she alone goes.
If only she knew
her fantasy
the world needs now
a gracious retreat
of comfort, coolness, beauty
bursting with kindness
for all who dare enter
or even
consider it
a possibility.

There has to be darkness
and light to life.
And when that darkness
dampens the light,
a touch of whimsy
~ or wee bit absurd ~
can tip the scale
from scary or stale
to delights of yet
unheard.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. ~Eleanor Roosevelt

Believe in a little magic now and then.

I love the depths in darkness
and purity within what appears white…
But the saturation of color
makes my heart simply sing~
