There's a door I want to knock on called Heaven's door and on my way I'll whisper hello to the brilliant moon skip from cloud to cloud gaze with wonder at the stars sinking into bed to dream and pray I sleep till noon On waking I'll review the world with fresh clear eyes balancing myself as I revolve on this axis forever more but if instead I should find I'm actually standing still I'll sit behind the wheel and find the peace of the shore I'll lose myself in the swooping seagull's cry the sound of trackless crashing waves I'll dip my toes and laugh like a child until I can melt into the peace I crave Tread undiluting softness build myself a castle till my hands are damp and gritty with sand I'm going to explore the land of my father's time off to be a Rainbow coming back when I know who I am... Don't ask me where I'm going, just listen when I'm gone and far away you'll hear me singing softly to the dawn. |

A beautiful vision you create here, Rainbow girl. Lovely work. *Krista Knutson* ~*Like a lion, without fear of the howling pack, Like a gust of wind, ne'er trapped in a snare, Like a lotus blossom, ne'er sprinkled by water, Let me, like a unicorn, in solitude roam.*~ Hymn Of Buddha |

You know RG, your poems always give me this sense of peace when i read them...well done. "Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me." -Charles Brugnot |

Do we ever know fully who we are, Rainbow? Excellent writing. |

So much longing for peace... so beautifully written. *S* But you'd better be staying away from those pearly gates for quite a while... we need you here!!! |

I echo Suthern, Rainbow.... A soul that writes from the heart and shares it, truly gives a gift extraordinaire! Shannon |

Rainbow, this is so beautiful and also gave me such a whimsical, peaceful feeling!! I say, let's live in that land forever!!!
