Reality comes in all different shades..
Shades of pure white when you know things are right...
A slightly pink hue when the truth is starting to fade
A scarey feeling that makes you feel almost afraid.
A deeper shade of a hazy blue..
When the truth is beginning to slip away from you.
A deep green color when reality is gone for good
And you begin to do things you nomally not would.

I've learned my lessons well dear friends
So if you see a serious side to me
Trust that it is only because I'm happy livng today.

and I'm happy for you, Lorelei. In a world where so much uncertainty reigns, it's nice to find someone who's at peace with life, has a good marriage with a good man and is happy with oneself. You're a breath of fresh air. Don't ever change.....

this is perfect,
love the use of the colors to enhance the emotions.
wisdom in your graceful words.
take care, jm

 And it's good that I'm not angry,
I just need to get over,
I'm not angry, anymore
Cry when you cry,
run when you run,
love when you love,
represent the ashes
that you leave behind

Lorelei~
You exude happiness ...
it's so nice to see.
Loved your 'colors'.

Thank You for your postive comments one and all...and for encouraging me to be me...Fantasy and play can be fun, but when you've been as deep into it as I once was, I'll take Reality any day now.  Nan sums it up well..."showing your REAL colors".
It's also interesting that I'm married to a man who is creative and we compliment each other well...
