On the airplane I had a window seat < !signature-->My hometown was ravished by a storm I felt guilty as the ants rebuilt their hill But then I saw a rainbow taking form As we rose high above the wispy clouds Seemingly racing for the rainbow’s arc Each vibrant color meant the world to me I was never really weaned from the dark I found rainbows embody heavens touch I read in a poem so long ago But now I’ve found I was near-sighted Here the beauty is bountifully so Someone whispered gently, the rainbow’s gone Someone whispered gently, that’s how I heard But I was watching the rainbow was gone I need not have heard those reverent words Crestfallen through customs I opened bags Crestfallen the agent held up his hand No language barrier for we both knew Rainbows are for others to understand But in a little Net café there I found An extension to the outside of town And over the sea on the horizon I smiled as a lone rainbow touched the ground All Day I Dream About Stanzas!!

Walt this is interesting. Don't ya know, The rainbow of promise Comes after the storm To let y'all know You're now safe from harm! What a trip it must have been. [This message has been edited by WhtDove (edited 04-05-2000).] |

Sir Walt, What a journey you detail here, sounds like you fight the light and the darkness, but the light has an edge over the darkness. |

I really liked this Walt...made me smile! I thought Cozumel was really nice, but you should have gone down just a bit further to see Honduras! What a magnificent island! I think the further down you go, the more emerald blue the waters get....glad you're back BTW! Yuh!  |
