Rainbows

I awake to sunshine

But it quickly disappears

And darkness surrounds me



Sunshine and rainbows make me happy

But these things I no longer have



I remember the bright blue skies

And the brilliant colors of the rainbow

The colors that touched my heart

And touched my soul

As the sun shone upon me



The ground damp beneath my feet

The simple beauty of it all

On days like these I could dream forever



Where did life's simple pleasures go

Why were they taken from me



Now bitterness surrounds me

Though it is bittersweet

Because I can still remember

Even if I cannot see

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Bitterness, both bitter and bittersweet
