Have you ever looked for the end of the rainbow? Its such an elusive search. Just when you think you have it in your grasp... ...its gone. You can see it there, just over the hill Just beyond the trees Touching the water. But you can never quite get to it. Its always one step further on One hill farther away. I will love you til the rainbows end. |

Paula, this is incredibly romantic, I love rainbows, some think they are trite, who cares!!! To me, they symbolize a promise, and love is a promise. And I feel that even though the rainbow is no longer visible doesn't mean it hasn't left the promise of love behind. < !signature--> "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey.""

This is very symbolic to me too....the promise of the rainbow means so much; sure it's elusive, but it's beautiful and it always reminds us of the beauty in the things we love so well. And what better association with loving someone, always!!! Peppermint Life is a Wheel |

Paula~ You've written the search of many hearts. The elusive symbol that beckons us to follow to the magical spot which contains that which will make us happier than we've ever been. There is no end to the rainbow - and no end to the hope of finding that love. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

A beauiful image and beauiful thoughts Sometimes you have to let go and move on, But never let go of the memories. |

Paula, Thank you so much for this poem. I wrote a similar one a few years ago, and will try to find and post int on Passions. Yes it is never touchable physically but it touches the heart, and that matters. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

Disappearing Rainbows It rained today and all last night This morning tried to find The crescent shaped with colors bright That came with morning shine. I caught a small and quickened view Of stripes up in the sky But when I turned around, just once It left, before my eyes. The rainbow disappeared in fade And with it, so it seems Went many of my daily plans And many of my dreams. I'll try each time when sky tears fall And sun comes out once more To catch a glimpse of rainbow's hues As I have done before. And hope that I can capture them And store then in mind's eye Those elusive plans and dreams I make To become that butterfly. Loving til the rainbows end just captured my mind, Paula, such lovely thoughts you have penned. ~Wynter < !signature--> "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II [This message has been edited by nakdthoughts (edited 10-31-2000).] |
