To Search for the Rainbow's End So the days went by and what was a branch became a willow and stars winked out or became and who could say where the rainbow ends but then the words began and rolled across the valley and the snow fell and the trees lost their leaves and children caught the magic and it made so many smiles that they made more and more and soon a story was in tall upright letters spelling yes but still no one could say where the rainbow ends yes to all the first and the last words and in between sighs the intricate meanings stories passed gifts of prophesy and blessing the guttural love making and all the stirring cries and then to sing with the rhythm of the drum A word is the first stroke that begins understanding it is the picture made perfect explained in separate voices it is the poet’s song pure and vibrant and forever through the chaos and the gladness and so began the search for the rainbows end [This message has been edited by Martie (edited 06-28-2000).] |

Martie~ Looking out my office window and seeing a rainbow that 'almost' matches the beauty of your poetry. What a wonderful way to spend a leisurely Wednesday afternoon ... You amaze me with the beauty of your thoughts - for in them I see the full spectrum of the rainbow's colors. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

And Martie wrote another great poem and made even more smiles  Eric. "We are the music makers and we are the makers of dreams." - Willy Wonka. |

yes to all the first and the last words and in between sighs the intricate meanings stories passed gifts of prophesy and blessing the guttural love making and all the stirring cries and then to sing with the rhythm of the drum A word is the first stroke that begins understanding it is the picture made perfect explained in separate voices it is the poet’s song pure and vibrant and forever through the chaos and the gladness and so began the search for the rainbows end ------------------- unbelievable ... absolutely awesome... when my muse comes back im gonna smack her  on her best day...she cant create visions like this. perfect martie take care, jm you can say baby baby can I hold you tonite maybe if I said the right words at the right time you'd be mine baby can I hold you tonite Tracy C |
