Notes About The Poem

In the Sky Suspended

My mansion is white and splendid,
it is three stories and has red shingles;
so beautiful-   in the sky suspended.

With flower boxes and colors blended,
and round windows on the many gables;
my mansion is white and splendid.

When I go there all sad things are mended,
in this dream just happiness twinkles;
so beautiful-  in the sky suspended.

Just floating until my dream has ended,
in another realm in clouds it mingles;
my mansion is white and splendid.

I can let go of feelings pretended,
it is full of joy, light and love sprinkles;
so beautiful- in the sky suspended.

In this Shangri-La, I hear the angels,
there, I can shed my persona presented;
my mansion is white and splendid,
so beautiful-    in the sky suspended.

Duke Beaufort November 14, 2016 at 8:06 PM Yes, the castles in the sky. You may have permission to be yourself even here. It is such a pleasure to dream. You are full of sweetness that is like the nectar of a flower. It's just you and nothing will ever be able to take that core essence away. Yes some sad and terrible things have happened, but there you are!
