Rainbow's End Sometimes it's not enough to want Though clear and crisp within your mind That rainbow's end, that sighted goal That's so elusive, hard to find Sometimes it's not enough to seek The surest path to find the way Without the weary walk through dark To reach the glorious light of day Sometimes it's not enough to fight For something that your heart desires For fight alone becomes a burden Squelching slow the burning fires Sometimes it's sheer determined will That makes things happen in our lives It's how the spirit deems each day And how a splendid dream survives Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 01-28-2000).] |

Sometimes it's just too easy to find the words to pen ... always within the inkwell of Elizabeth, my friend. Darling lady, this is awesome. Love ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

May all your dreams have enough determination to run a marathon. May all your dreams shine through in the mirror of your soul. May all your dreams take a tight grasp upon the spirit of the day. May all your dreams always have poetry as there means to inspire. |

The thing they never told us when we were kids was that rainbows are circles...no wonder we end up chasing forever... Nice work Elizabeth |

Dreams keep a person alive and I guess I'll be alright if I can find my rainbow's end. It's good that you can still have faith in your dreams. |

Marge, Thank you dear dreamer Lost dreamer, Very beautiful response, indeed I enjoyed reading it Thank you Toe, No, this wasn't about our Rainbow. I don't have the words to describe her beauty, it comes from the inside out, and radiates on her beautiful face Local rebel, If the rainbow is a circle, then the dream is eternal Tracie, Thanks so much Koon, Faith is infinite Sy If the dream is splendid, I make it happen Liz Rainbow, You have the spirit to deem any day wondrous in some way |

Great poem, Elizabeth!! I've had those fights that became burdens... and my will needs a few trips to the gym for strength training! *S* And Rainbow: Perhaps he was merely comparing the beauty! *G* (hehehehehehe) |

So true, Elizabeth. Nothing succeeds like sheer force of will, determination and plodding along toward the final goal. The earth was formed in such a way. Excellent writing. Toe, it embarrasses me to say this, but.... you stole my line!!! |

Remarkable...your ability to transform such thoughts into words...this was quite splendid, Liz...beautiful.

Yet, we do not treat ourselves nor another thus tenderly." ~Henry David Thoreau |

I second all the above and especially Seymore A nice dream lets hang on to it Very beautiful in prose The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Hoot and Helmut, Thank you for your responses and please see my dream come true in announcements. WE had the will and found the way, with the help of a lot of prayers from poet friends Liz |
