Somewhere near the Rainbow

The Wise Man Knows

Her eyes cautiously
perched...
upon his ceiling.
Reeling in the gum ball
mutter....
he's dealing.
Sometime in a formally
dressed up lie...
the moment gleamed within
a corner...
of his eye.

Dealt a memory
of past...
house of cards folded.
Together through friendship
the years...
they molded.
Sets of crayons,
too many...
to color rainbows.
Too few they'd say,
that only...
the wise man knows.
