The Rainbow.

~~Daniel J D~~

Hidden from view for some time
The butterflies stopped searching
The flowers held back their beauty
And the sounds of birds lessened

The tears ran freely, as pain took over
A rainbow had vanished, in the never never
The nights filled with sorrow and despair
Two friends so close and yet so far
Neither knowing where the rainbow had gone

I gathered all the colours to paint
But weakness was stronger, as I struggled
I needed to bring back that rainbow
For life without a rainbow's arc is sad

It took a lot of work, and still more
To bring  the rainbow back to life
I realised I needed help to match the colours
And she came along to lend me a hand
We brought back the rainbow to brighten the horizon
Light up the sky, as the flowers welcomed the butterflies
And the songs of all birds filled the emptiness
Out there someone else also lent a hand
The tears had to stop flowing

Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love
(Daniel J D)

it's a wonderful feeling to see the rainbow come into view again, these words truly spoke to my heart this morning.
