Mike Gentile Poet Carpe Diem

A Band of Color

There are all kinds of rainbows
              Optimistic forces to pierce a rainy day
 As sun refuses damp demands of gloom
              And glorious bands of color illuminate

 Are we not also like the sun
               Make way, murky demons that shade
 I’ll not consent to cloud my point of view
                       A wasteland of tomorrows waits

 So though my rainbow not yet gleams
                           And somber hesitation lingers
 I’ll march through the showers 
                  And form a band of color of my own
