A Rainbow of Masks 

I wore the yellow mask and saw

a daffodil blooming in the freshly cut grass, 

the sun shining in the still blue sky 

and the ducklings calmly swimming in the frosty quiet lake.

I wore the pink mask and I felt 

the sweet tingling tasty candyfloss melting in my mouth,

the feeling of rose petals drifting from my hands 

and the sweet icy  taste of strawberry ice cream dripping down my chin.

I wore the blue mask and saw 

the icy ocean tingling my fingertips,

and the cold breeze of the summer sky 

and a whale soaring in the air.

I wore the clear mask and saw 

the ice skating rink melting like butter,

the glistening glass shining in the light 

and the clear transparent water shining in the sun.

I wore the white mask and saw 

the clouds floating in the clear blue sky,

the moon shining in the dark night sky 

and the cream on top of the dripping ice cream.

I wore the green mask and saw 

a  frog leaping from side to side,

a leaf blowing towards the wind and swirling in circles  

and a mint green sweet tingling on my tongue.
