Who Can See the Rainbow When it Rains at Night?

When I whimper inthe dark
for my forgotten dreams
I would feel an unseen hand
pat my cheeks dry
then, I couldn't help but smile

Who can see the rainbow when it rains at night?
Does its colors still dazzle in the darkness?

When I break into song
in the smothering midnight silence
a shadow
lingers to listen
and then
ghostly fingers
would break into
a deafening applause

Who can see the rainbow when it rains at night?
Does its colors still dazzle in the darkness?

I know
you have been here all along
You have come
to visit me
from heaven.

J. Samm,
   After reading this, I believe it is you who can see a rainbow at night and who receives a ghostly applause!  This has such wonderful contrasts in it and it a very different--as positive way of looking at death as one could.  Excellent thoughts and perspective.

Did you know that I could feel the spirit move through this ?

(big angel hugs) God Bless You, dearest friend, my heart goes out to you for your loss but I believe with all my heart that your father is always guiding you in heart and spirit and he truly is painting rainbows for you at night and in your dreams he is taking you on Pegasus rides across the stars! (wipes tears) Bless you, dearest friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jasmine, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

A very touching write sir. It is deep, saddening and inspirational. Very strong images come to mind. Excellent!!
