Notes About The Poem

Chasing Rainbows

Storm clouds finally passed us by
      the sun shines over head;
   rainbow spans across the sky
         with brilliant hues instead.

Hues of every color known
      to spectrum far and wide;
   beauty now by nature shown,
         an offering of pride.

We’ve been chasing rainbows now
      forever and a day;
   searching for that pot of gold,
         and love along the way.

As we gaze upon this sight,
      this rainbow up above;
   thinking now the time is right
         to consummate our love.

Fulfilling all our fantasies
      in hopes that love’s not blind;
   chasing rainbows to appease
         these dreams held in our mind.

A Rainbow was Gods promise to Noah after Noahs Ark found dry land on top of a mountain, that he would not flood the earth again. Sad that Rainbows come and go so quickly, but what a spectacle they make in the sky, almost like a fairy tale, like twinkles that, now you seem them now you don't! A beautiful write - and a wonderful win, congrats dear John. Hugs, Jennifer.

A wondrous sight more so to behold after having read through these early eyes that awaits the trade of twilight's rest and the launch of dawn John, Aloha William
