Gorgeous Pink and Purple Twilight
A mystical, magical Barbie sky
Alive with a surreal layer of orange
She reminds me of that frothy orange Julius drink
also, the orange and pink mini-dresses of the sixties
The ones we did not dare wear in small town Iowa.
It is a palette of color initiated by Gods and Goddesses
To the west I see purple, probably orchestrated by Athena.
Pink beaches are one thing, a fuchsia sky is entirely ethereal
As the only witness, I feel I must capture it on camera
I click away, taking photo after photo.
None of them are half as gorgeous as the real deal.
Put the camera aside, enjoy this, a spirit voice says.
I do this, and ideas begin flowing into my heart.
I feel lighter, happier, and more joyful than ever.
This is a magical place, I whisper.
I am too awed to speak in a normal voice.
How long could this last?
I decide to stay and find out.
