After the Rainbow


Pictorial scenes from my dreams

Tell me I must go

The road is long and narrow

After the show

 

And when the show is over

My mind is in a daze

I have to find myself again

My balance to maintain

 

A rainbow, to start my dreams

Nothing is quite what it seems

Angels in black hold the eternal key

And help me to find sanctuary

 

Oh please help me on my adventure

To paint a realistic picture

Just like a child again

I hang my head in shame

 

Over the rainbow my dream ends

And we are still friends

Let’s keep it that way

Forever, for always

 

Chasing rainbows in my sleep

Dreams I need to keep

If only you were here too

Finding a love that’s mutual

Only you can be there too

Chasing rainbows

At the rainbows end

As the rainbow ends

Well done Andrea! Chasing the elusive can be painful and frustrating indeed. Maybe, just maybe, the thrill is in the chase itself - who knows? The colours reflect a kaleidoscope of emotions common to us all. Thank you for inviting me on the journey.

Andrea, with your rainbow and mine, we have proven that it takes all kinds of rainbows to make a world. But yours is much nicer than mine. Loved the poem. Bill

This poem has something of a child's whimsical voice. It means it came from the poets vulnerability. A good point to start dreaming and creating. Thanks for sharing this gem with us.
