In Pink Light

A poem about seeing the world through rose-colored glasses.

I want to see the world
Drenched in pink light.
To know the Eiffel Tower's
Blinding shimmer
Against the dark blue sky.
Touch among the lights
The waters from a boat in Venice.
Hear the words anew yet same
Repeating from your lips
Making me sway...fall.
Oh fall again and need
To feel this sand
These petals at my feet.
Risk all for something great!
Risk all to see the world awake
Drenched in pink light.
