Tears of the Sun Tribute to RainbowGirl In the sun’s reflection one would never think that to a great depression the sun could ever sink at twilight’s deep gloaming in the still of the night e’en though the sun is nowhere it remains there in moonlight and when one is without the day as clouds overcast the sky in gray and in the still and quite overtones just know the sun is only postponed… when quietly the day comes back amid the shadows of clouds gray and raindrops slit through the sky as God in Heaven also cries but in the shine of raindrop sent a magical moment is thus spent to see the rainbow’s sheen on high as tears of the sun elicit a sigh. 3 August 2000 ©Karilea Rilling Jungel |

Hi Sunshine... As always, I loved all of this, but the line: "..the sun is only postponed" was the best.... With you around, there will always be the warm glow of the sun!! I have but one goal in life......... To make you smile! ~~ Sunny ~~ |

I would just like to second all of the above. I could really feel all of this - a beautiful ode to nature. |

Sunny1 - just a forewarning that if and when I have a "down" day, you'll know where I'll be...just there, behind that cloud over yonder... Allan, thanks! I've been enjoying your works... Karilea When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ |

Sunshine: You !! Have a down day, Nah ! Cause when you have a down day, i.e. when the sun goes in, then that means we have clouds which then are surely followed by rain and then we ALL know what happens, the sun pops out and there hitting you right between the eyes is a Rainbow...so you can't have down days cause then I will always be having good days...ROFL On the other hand, perhaps we could share?...*g* and surprise the world with the first accurate meteorlogical (can't spell, I mean weather forecast...LOL)..sorry..(slaps hand over face to stop laughing) I wonder if we ever realised that when we chose our names the fun that we would have with them... Thank you again, it means a great deal to me now where do you suppose Cloud is hiding, we surely must have a cloud amongst us...*g* HUSG< !signature--> "If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be.

Actaully, being semi serious here for a moment (yeah, I know it's unusual..lol) we don't have a Summer; Winter; Autumn or Spring neither do we have Snow or Mist...I wonder if that's a reflection on personalities....hmmmmmmmmm....food for thought here.... HUSG ps: Why did you choose your name? |

Well then, RG, we would also need Fog and Rain, perhaps a Dreary would do... we could use a Hurricane and Tornado could blow through too, We'd need a Sultry and perhaps Humid too could use a Cold Snap and what about Breeze? and if we had all the Seasons then we'd need Allergies... LOL! You've got me going here... and my name...? Well, partly from my Dad... he'd sing "You are my Sunshine, my only Sunshine..." are you familiar with that one? Gads...he's been gone 12 years, and I can hear his voice... thanks for the memories... Karilea When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ |

Yes I can recall it, I hear the tune in my head and the voice but the name escapes me...My dad used to call me susy-wan, because I was christened Susan but too many susan's...LOL and I got fed up of being No. 13 ...so, there was a beautiful looking girl called Cindy in a nightclub that I worked in and in my innocence or ignorance, I decided that a name was something you could be, hence at 14 I became Cindy and much the smae is behind Rainbow...I do and will always beleive that life is a mixture of happiness and tears and with a heart full of love that always seems to refill itself, Rainbow was the only choice for me...I guess, I think that to appreciate life, one has to know sad to know happy and I always smiled whenever I saw a rainbow cause somewhere, it meant that tears were drying and a smile was forming... ooops...I rambled...sorry...

RG, I believe that your name fits you...as God indeed gave us the Rainbow to remind us he would never again cause such terror as to allow no hope...and you are always a sign of HOPE for me... I always look forward to seeing your name here in Passions...or indeed, in my own mailbox... Hugs, KJ Karilea When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ |

I apologise sincerely for keep bumping this one up in my replies to Sunshine but sometimes, sometimes, something strikes us and we feel the need to reply .... I don't believe anyone ever saw me as "hope" before...somehow that brought tears, cause i'm always thinking that to be without hope means life is pointless...damn you girl, you made rainbows again but made a small heart sparkle in the process.. Time I wasn't here, thanks Sunshine and may you continue to be the smile behind "my only sunshine".. Sweet dreams and thank you. HUSG |

Rainbow is the perfect name for rainbow, a spirit reflected across the sky in beautiful colors, the prism of her soul on display for all to see and to draw delight from. She comes and goes, but when she comes, it's a miriad of the hues of life, and we always learn from her, and her rainbow arc is there to embrace us all Thank you Sunshine for this beautiful tribute to Rainbow Love you both Liz |

Parker, thanks for coming in to read. I don't believe sunshine would ever be at its best without rainbows to showcase each beam! As RG brings out my best, I can only hope to enhance her! Thanks again!< !signature--> Karilea When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ [This message has been edited by Sunshine (edited 08-04-2000).] |
