Through these doors, one can only imagine the interior of Van Patten Mountain Camp, a historical resort built in 1897. It was worth the hike to see these ruins nestled in the Organ Mountains near Las Cruces, New Mexico.
Colour draws me in
Lifting my heart to the sky
Through turquoise dreams
And flying machines
Luring me gently to the clouds
Over the rainbow
And back again
I only need to open
This door of hope
Yellow like the sun
Decorated with doves and lace
To remind me of grandmothers’ doilies
And simpler times
I only need to open
This door of endless possibilities
One hand gripping and turning
One heart open and learning
One life in front of me
Inside of me
Around me
I only need to open
This door of life
To find my rainbow
