The beautiful rainbow appears at the right moment, and just when we least expect it! After the storm, you took the time to notice the beautiful array of colors around you. This is a well written poem!
I believe that the simplest things are the most beautiful, and these are the things that will make us smile and lift our spirits. A rainbow and nature around us is all we need to lift our spirits sometimes. No matter how much ice, rain and storms we have to go through, something beautiful will make us smile! |

As I looked all around I coud see,
the changes evolving, finally to green.
White, yellow, orange, lavender and blue,
symphony of colors meant to be seen.
The last stanza also captured my spirit. Thank you for that amazing poem. Lately, I have become so fascinated with flowers because they remind me of life, especially my faith in Jesus. Today I have decided to enjoy and celebrate ME as I look to God. Then I read your poem and your words confirmed my new passion. Have a wonderful day. I pray that you day is peaceful and that you are enjoying your uniqueness. Take care. |

I like the idea of this poem and the way it was written...you have captured the essence of how we always stand up after a storm, the rainbow is glorious and wondrous indeed,but alas no rainbow without rains so i think the sacrifice of going through a storm is worth it when we see the spectacular beauty of the rainbow...it gives us a feeling that all will be well again,"bring us back to feeling happy,
if just for a while" if I may quote your poem...great write!

| Life is a series of intermittent storms and lulls. But as the words to an old song I once heard so eloquently noted, "storms never last --do they baby, bad times are left with the wind -- your hand in mine stills the thunder -- you make the sun want to shine". And so the storms come and they pass as we gain sanctuary from our loved ones and God. Another masterful piece from Karen. Thanks for the sharing. Jon Michael Willey |
