Let me walk with you awhile.
Reach out and hold my hand.
I've been there a time or two.
I've been where you now stand.

I can see through your mask.
I see the anger in your eyes.
The dreams that you portray
Are just nightmares in disguise.

The webs of subtle deceit
Weigh heavy on your mind.
And as you turn and take another look
You realize, it had been there all the time.

What once was a future
Is now lost and gone.
It happened so quickly
And it didn't last long.

But know that after every storm
Lies a rainbow at the end.
Be patient and you will find it
And all will be better again.

walt, whiskey, Marge and Kit, thank you all so much for reading and commenting.  Sometimes one just needs a friend to be there until the rainbow comes into sight.

And a Pot O Gold at the end of every rainbow!
It's great to have such a wonderful friend,
one that offers a shoulder to lean on!  
Great poem and wonderful tribute.

How lovely rainbows are, bringing forth so much hope, and how beautiful your poem is with it's universal truth!  This is the first poem that I have read by you and I am impressed!

Eloise,

Great poem!  I've always believed that rainbows are a great figure of hope after crisis due to there shining beauty and color.
Forgive me for my verbosity.

This is one thing I keep in my head.

"One can never chase too many rainbows."
