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. ____________________________ November 14, 2016 Poetry/Villanelle/In The Sky Suspended Copyright Protected, ID 16-850-042-0 All Rights Reserved.

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!
