The Tumble Down Shed

Report to a moderator 
After school one night I found the tumble down shed,
Right beside it, a stony narrow path which led,

To an azure river dancing gracefully in the breeze,
Where the delicate air weaved in and out of the trees.

Then there was the rainbow dazzling in the sun,
Glowing like a gleaming medal someone has just won, 

The ivory birds looked like miniature space ships, 
Their beautiful pale wings carried them on long trips.
 
The sun was leaping in the sky like a beach ball,
But I knew when black roofed the blue, the sun would soon fall.

Then I realised that I was late for tea,
But my secret world stays in my memory.

I live in Spain and there is an expression about life which is called 'que no me quitan lo bailado'.  Translated it means, you can't take away from me the dances that I have danced' and this is what this poem means to me - whatever experiences you go through will always be with you.
