Pink Worlds Far Away From Here...by Donna Earle
She often lay still for hours,on ...the sofa, on dim August evenings,
as dusk made its gentle path over the floor
and dreamt of pink worlds far away from here.
She spent hours at it when her eyes grew tired
and her book dropped softly.
Outside the little evening birds made music straight from heaven,
or those worlds she daydreamed about.
down the yellow hall of her house ,
there was a mirror
and on these evenings she saw,
or imagined she saw,
reflections there.
Pink shadows,
silver-pink,
like nothing
in reality.
they called her away,
away to pink worlds,
and she reached out her hands
in pleasure
to the shadows.
The shadows were so vibrant
silver-pink
like summer suns
glimmering.
they called her name ,
sometimes a litttle wildly,
and then softly,
the charm of the birdsong
somehow held her back.
