Rainbows in the Moonlight


When rainbows come to a shadowy end
Without a pot of gold
A part no longer of the sun
But of the night and cold

And wind blows wild through the trees
And once swift rivers slowly freeze

Look for me beneath the stars
And searching through the night
Trying to find the love I lost
Catching rainbows in the moonlight



Sing while you may
  -The Prophet Qa'sepel

Your pain is for you alone, As it is, As it was, As it will be forever, Amen
   -The Prophet Qa'sepel

I liked it.
But in
A part, no longer, of the sun

I don’t think both commas need to be there,
Unless there is a hidden meaning I don’t get
Perhaps
A part, no longer of the sun,

Just moving it to the end, before the but to come.
I noticed that you have no end line punctuation,
So maybe
A part
no longer
of the sun

would work better
allowing the line breaks to make the pauses.
Just suggestions,

Gloom

Thank you, professor, for the suggestions. Commas always seem to give me fits.I won't break up the line (as I really don't like that device). All I'm trying to say with this is that it is no longer a part of the sun. My word processor seemed to think it was OK but I think you are right. (Never trust a computer). Perhaps I don't need any commas? I don't know.
Thanks for your comments- always appreciated.
I just edited this piece on my word procesor and it seemed to like it with no commas too.
I think I'll go that way.
Thanks again,
Ian

I enjoyed this. It was sadly sung and the images were touchable.

Beautiful piece.  The main reason I read this one was because the title "Rainbows in the moonlight" totally caught my eye and I thought this one would be interestering and I was right!  Good work!
