Who Am I

I am the leftovers of yesterday, Today's joy and sorrow And maybe the source of inspiration For unknown writers of tomorrow... Uncertain of my own destination, Only you and the Lord May have a clear answer For this puzzle of my life... Yesterday: a poet, lover and dancer, Today: old, tired and facing a strife And tomorrow: singing to the world Through somebody else, perhaps, But still sending my message of love, Always humble like the one above... I am the color of a rainbow's end, Camouflaged by light, Blending into blue sparkling patterns, Made sandy bright, Leaving a trace of footprints, then, I am gone with the tide... Romeo Della Valle

Very moving with elaborate imagery... the verses And tomorrow: singing to the world Through somebody else, perhaps, Leaving a trace of footprints, then, I am gone with the tide... make one cry!

Ah Romeo, I do not see the color of a rainbow's end...when you are facing the sun, the rainbow's end is behind you :)

Dear Ed Ebbs, thank you for your valuable comment but I must tell you that I wasn't facing the Sun when I mentioned that I am the colors of a rainbow's end! Thank you again! God Bless You!

Hello Romeo. I read this poem with a deep regard for you as writer/poet and I am one of those that you have inspired to write more, even when the prospects are bleak and the rewards are financially, scarce. Still, the joy of writing keeps us recharged and alive, and yes - will be ready tomorrow by others. A great poem about you...and us.
