where is my rainbow?

our eyes are open yet we are blind

riding the winds of life, traveling the sands of time

searching the forest, seeking the right paths

stumbling.....so lost and confused



ahead a fork in the road, how do I know which to choose

silhouettes playing games with my eyes

is everything I see just an illusion?

all that I feel ....is it a cruel game?



as darkness Descends.....all around me

the creature of doubt devouring me

an angel of mercy calls out to me

life is an up hill climb....but there is another side she whispers



weary from the roads I have traveled

wondering why the terrain had to be so harsh

scared to take the next hike in the woods

afraid to be lost and alone yet.......... one more time



black clouds of despair surround me

thunder roars out paralyzing me

cold winds chilling my soul

a heart.... rain drenched in agony



is there anyone out there, who will one day keep me warm?

will I find shelter, will my journeys ever lead me home?

I wander aimlessly along another path

knowing only that after the storm a rainbow will appear

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Life is full of twist and turns, journeys that now seem
fruitless. I know for fact that life is all uphill, and there will
be many storms to weather. Its the rainbows that give me resolve!
Thank-you Dawn, I love yah and rest assured babes your
life will be filled with many vibrant colors!

Indeed, rainbows are signs of faith and hope. And whatever happens in our lives, this famous cliche will never lost its power to motivate us: "There are always rainbows after the rain."
