Beyond the Rainbows

Most beautiful things are born out of pain and suffering
As I hugged the tree, 
it embraced me tightly back pulling 
all shards scattered and lost over the years together
Telling me you would be the glue
And you watched me put myself back up, revealing the true self

On our first date you kissed 
the broken, 
the shards, 
you embraced the gaps and would not let go 
- holding me together
cold river washed over us
 and it did not matter we jumped with both feet in
washing away the dust, mud and ashes from embers 
from ruins that once were

The turquoise of the sky with the gold of the earth 
glittered in sunlight and became my favorite view
The nod of the ancestors from beyond rainbows, fluffy clouds and unicorns
