Michael J. Falotico Poet Rhyme

Perils Into Light

There was a time in the past when I wasn't to kind..
I never saw true beauty as I always walked blind..

I would rip a rainbow in half just to watch it bleed...
The rain would be my salvation as the sun I would heed..

Words and rhymes were so far back in my head to find...
And I was stuck on a clock that refused to ever wind..

Then the perils of life poured over me and brought me a light...
And those hands on the clock moved without a fight..

Now my easel holds a rainbow that I painted back to health...
I surrounded it with poetic words filled with love from myself...

Maybe an Angel I'm still not, but at least I now what I got...
