Rainbow of Emotions
My search is over, found my rainbows end
entrance has gold door with silver knocker
I turn the diamond crusted door handle
met with prism of colour on entering
spectrum of colours certainly exceed
anything seen or imagined from Earth
flowing through middle a multicoloured
marble stairway, on each tread is inscribed
with human emotions, starting with need
start of life reliance of innocents
I start climbing, see trust indicating
our needs for acceptance of all others
followed by happiness as we all bond
share experience, generosity
then I see optimistic life is good
will get even better in our future
jovial no responsibility
reflected fluorescent warm bright colours
Emits rainbows interior beauty
elated by what I am seeing words
Like affection, tenderness, devotion,
delight, ecstatic, serene, contentment
finally I see love a glow so bright
shining on your name the one I adore
pinnacle of this amazing rainbow
as the stairway starts to decline gently
looking down I read respect our need to
accept others we seek understanding
friendship, to my dismay colours fade
become cool as I descend, emotions
begin to change which are quite distressing
bad emotions such as, hopeless, worthless,
powerless, inferior, trapped, confused
I see the exit surrounded by grey
dark blues, a door inscribed with words such as
horrifying and humiliation,
and in large blood red letters was hatred,
now I know it's time for me to decide
I need, want to be my destination
I turn back, my place is the top of this
wonderful beautiful rainbow with my
LOVED ONES.
