You are the rainbow

You are the rainbow arching over the rain washed sky
Your promise lifting heart and soul giving wings to fly
When I see you I see the sparkling hues of loves delight
I see it flowing from you in streams of liquid light
The colours all merging together to make up your name
Blended mixed and melded they become all the same
These are the colours that make up my friend Karilea
Each is a part of her, each colour part of her beauty

Red is for the fire that is her poetic passions flame
Orange is the compassion that is always in her name
Yellow is the sunshine that she sheds with her lights
Green is the life force that flows when she writes
Blue is the colour of her home the wide deep sky
Indigo the night shade that waits for her soft sigh
>Violet the sky as it waits for her early morning rise
These are the rainbow colours that reflect in her eyes

Kari my sister of soul you are a rainbow of pure light
Your name illumes the heart turning back the night
Your words that fall from your pen so effortlessly
They ease souls that have sobbed in pain endlessly
Your pen is you, and you are a writer of warm sunlight
And your words drop diamonds of shining starlight
A rainbow of colour my darling Kari this is you
You are the star and the keeper of Passions soul too


Marsha
  
Happy Birthday
Karilea

Marsha, you've simply outdone yourself, our little English sprite!  I can see where Puck has come to play a hand in this, as well as Thanks to our Kethry for helping to make this such a visual delight...

and I am simply overwhelmed!  Not flattened, mind you, as you had hoped, for I've yet to reach the mountain's top, and as a good many folk have said, I'll only pick up speed once I hit the top and start down the other side!

This is a treasure in and of itself, as are you!  Thank you so much for your thoughts and good wishes.  It is going to be a very memorable day!  Thank you all!

Well, I was gonna kick some kitties today, but I think, in Karilea's honor, and because it isn't every day someone gets this old *heh heh*, I'll give the little kittens a free ride.

Karilea, you are a beautiful soul, and you give so much hope to so many people.  We all love you, sweet one.

Happy Birthday!


Marsha - How can I not love you when your heart is so fine?  Thank you for reminding us all what a wonderful person Karilea is.  Hugs.

Thank you one and all for helping make Kari's birthday special. I know she appreciates it I also appreciate it.

As for the poem you all know she is worth a little effort, (something that I rarely bother to put into anything if I can get away with it) This however did take some effort..... special thanks go to Margie girl for her unstinting help, and to Keth who sat up long into her night to help me with this. Those colors took more effort to get right than almost anything. However I have the 'code' now so there shouldn't be the necessity for quite such an intensive effort, on anyone's part.

Thank you all once again
Love and warm stuff
As always
