Escape

When I am hurt
and need escape
I create a world
with a different shape.

Softness prevails
as does love
and I'm transformed
into a turtledove.

I glide through the air
it’s a wondrous thing
to feel the wind
against my wing.

Here wishes come true
dreams come to be
here I can be happy
I can be me.

And here there are pillows
for to rest my head
like the one my tears touch
as I lie on my bed.
