for Nancy
for so long living
in the third person
so many masks
all of them polished
& too smooth
to match the raw
in your eyes
take them off
& greet your true face
in your mirror
reflected there honestly
no distortion
no bent light
when you are done looking
& like who you see
put something dangerously pink
behind your ear
something wild
& blooming unplanned
in that manicured garden
& paint your toenails green
for the surprise of it
flaunt that
twist of the unexpected
for no other reason
than because you can
Susan Daniels Poetry 
The spirit of shedding our limitations…
🙂 Yep
Wonderful you!
🙂 Thanks so much, Mari!
Absolutely, yes! Colors more refreshingly dance when freed to do so by a mind unwilling to follow simple convention.
🙂 Like what you say about colors here–there is a rainbow out there–why not use it?
Colorful indeed !!!
😉
Unwind, unbind, rewind to your true self and be and then become! Lovely, green is the color of nature, green is elemental, green is life, is living and the color of life that springs and leaves that unfurl and unfold and reach out to the sun! Susan, thanks for this song for Nancy – it is also a song for us!
Thanks, Noel. It definitely is a song for all of us–we need to get out the whole crayon-box of colors and experiment with them 🙂
To thyself be true. Wonderful words.
Thank you 🙂
