Hippy Dust and Rainbows

Walking hand-in-hand among ROY-G-BIV mist,
i felt the delicacies of light refracting prisms kiss;
hippy dust and drops suspended in times geodesic archway.

We'd walked mind-in-mind over telephone lines of little need-
had telepathetic hi-ways, reviewing inventions mindways.
Little perks still peak from ideas planted in rainbows, hippy drops and dust.

I wanted to give a little background info here, instead of with the poem.  I tried it there and it was distracting.  
  
  This poem was written about a very dear friend, who upon learning my dad died, immediately quit his job and moved a few hundred miles to help my mother and me out through the worst winter in Ohio.  Friends like that don't come along that often-I've been extrememly fortunate to have had several.

   Sometimes in March, the month of leprechauns and rainbows, my heart still whispers a thanks.

(As I re-read this this morning, I read into it  possible room for mistinterpretation.  Perhaps, clarification would be in my best interests...this
in NO way has reference to drugs-I think there may have been a word that might have a connotation of that nature.  If it does make that suggestion, it is purely accidental and does not represent my friendship or usage!  I choose not to change the word, however, as its imagery is important to develop the rest of the poem.)

smiling wide, Sadie.

I read this before your explanations, and thought what you thought I might think. (Being Roman, I thought it was about Rome, heh, heh.)

I like the idea that you capture actual wonder instead of a momentary, and false sense of--oh sigh, serenity. (sometimes I hate my choice of user name)

Enjoyed this, and enjoyed it more with the explanation(s).

Some image here, really powerful! Reading the note helped to appreciate even more the feelings you convey.

Love, Margherita

Merci

(big angel hugs) Awwwwwwwww, this made me smile, sweet friend, you are so lucky and blessed to have such a caring friend who would go any mile to make sure all is alright! (smiles) I love the hippy ideals soooooo much and with the exception of the drugs, which I consider what truly ruined the revolution, believe that hippys are the best in expressing what it is to use your freedoms and creative energy and harmonize to one another as a free-spirit! (sigh) I yearn for the reincarnation of the hippy movement, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sadelite, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
