Grey blue eyes and soft curly cues Pockets with starlight in her diamond tipped shoes She skipped through her world spun of peppermint air, With moons made of honey and ribbons in her hair She wore the clouds like little lace gowns as they floated along Humming the fairies a sleepy eyed song Fireflies flickered like tiny gold bells Guiding her farther and farther from the wave crashing swells She gathered up wonder in thimble sized jars And counted the freckles that lived on the stars Built her little boats out of lavender leaves And sailed them through pink rivers that slept in the trees Her rabbits wore waistcoats and the birds knew rhyme The roses swayed softly to tell her the time Even the wind with its warm sugared sigh Would tuck her small dreams in the crook of the sky There were castles in closets and seas made of glass, Hours she prayed the nightmares would pass. Each curl on her forehead, each wish whispered through, Was the armor she fashioned when her tiny world grew. And far, far away where the dark things would creep The monsters grew lost in the forests asleep For none of them knew how to follow her there Past castles of bubblegum built in the air So into her kingdom softly she'd run Through puddles of chocolate and cinnamon sun Where baby blue eyes could stay wondrous and free Forever a child in her bright reverie.

The Reverie
Grey blue eyes and soft curly cues Pockets with starlight in her diamond tipped shoes She skipped through her world spun of peppermint air, With moons made of honey and ribbons in her hair She wore the clouds like little lace gowns as they floated along Humming the fairies a sleepy eyed song Fireflies flickered like tiny gold bells Guiding her farther and farther from the wave crashing swells She gathered up wonder in thimble sized jars And counted the freckles that lived on the stars Built her little boats out of lavender leaves And sailed them through pink rivers that slept in the trees Her rabbits wore waistcoats and the birds knew rhyme The roses swayed softly to tell her the time Even the wind with its warm sugared sigh Would tuck her small dreams in the crook of the sky There were castles in closets and seas made of glass, Hours she prayed the nightmares would pass. Each curl on her forehead, each wish whispered through, Was the armor she fashioned when her tiny world grew. And far, far away where the dark things would creep The monsters grew lost in the forests asleep For none of them knew how to follow her there Past castles of bubblegum built in the air So into her kingdom softly she'd run Through puddles of chocolate and cinnamon sun Where baby blue eyes could stay wondrous and free Forever a child in her bright reverie.
I built this world as a little girl. I’m hoping this may resonate with someone who had to use imagination to escape reality.
