Some of you asked what made me write this as it's different than usual. Actually, there was a contest to write a poem about "pot of gold" or something like that, so I expanded on an old poem I originally wrote years and years ago. Rainbows can make sad, happy and lead to the best things in life, I think anyway.(Most of my poems were written as a child/teen, over the years, I've edited/updated and uploaded onto AuthorsDen.)
If a Rainbow If a rainbow could bring me gold I’d follow it till I grow old high up in the mountains to the clouds So much I’d learn above the crowds Like life’s free pleasures More than gold’s treasures And of all of the possessions that I’d hold The least important, would be gold If a rainbow Would bring me gold I’d follow it till I grow old To the valleys and the deep blue sea So much freedom it bringS to me Like paths I’d make That others will take And of all my possessions bought or sold The least important, would be gold If a rainbow sould bring me gold I’d follow it till I grow old And when I'm seasoned with hair of gray So much wisdom will have come my way Like life’s free pleasures More than gold’s treasures And of all of the possessions that we'll hold The least important, will be gold By Gloria Buono © 2006

The poem is beautiful
and the woman singing...is this you Gloria?
An angelic & beautiful voice captures
the utter beauty of this poetic expression.
Very moving & embracing

THIS! Is a beauty of a gem! I will savor!
I see a fractal piece of crystal before my eyes
and a reflection of light and easy flow...

The ethereal beauty of rainbows is reflected in this piece. Oft times the journey brings more rewards than the destination.
