Lilac - Sunday Scribblings # 245

Written for Sunday Scribblings prompt 245 - Limits

She was never sure where she ended and others began
she was grey,  beige at best
never a colour, yet for a few moments when
she became fully present
and it was too much
for her
preferring the safety of shadows
blending, invisible
playing a part and doing it well
in her boundless prison
but there came a day
when she found a key
to her imaginary doors
and opened them to a gentle shade
but a colour never the less
and she began anew
and she found where she finished and others began
and  it was there
dressed in lilac
that I saw her last.
