Nivedita Bedadur Poet Blank verse

Rainbow Dreams

RAINBOW DREAMS
What would I not give for the wonder
In the eyes of a little girl
Somewhere on the edge of the horizon

A game of peek a boo
Comes alive when giggles dapple
The sunlight’s foray through the window bars

Suddenly activity becomes urgent and a shower of babbles
Burst forth in happy momentum 
And you are the sun

Rainbows are the stuff life is made of
The marriage of the rain and the sun
When on a battered scooter youth meets old age in the street corner

These are the dreams of a teacher
Weaving fabrics with tattered threads
The colours vibrant in fading eyesight
Like the smart salute of the girl who cried in your class everyday

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
