THE RAINBOW I watched and beauty did appear Of that that pales the dream of men The mind from blank to one so clear An arch of colours came again From where the lucent treasures lay Beneath the rainbow mist today As vibrant as the call to young The butterflies that belly churn It’s reach of wide with light begun As seven colours came to burn As tall and wide as cities be Was Heaven’s bridge for all to see The trees beneath, with glea did dance But humbled to what high had come While all about just stood with glance Until the mist and sun were done I watched with eye and inner thought A painting such is never bought And now when I’m in memories eye In ponder on my life and day That coloured sight does come on by And peace again does come my way And I await with chance and time Again when Heaven’s Bridge is mine |

An effective format, and some very clear descriptions. Enjoyed the read, thank you for sharing. Parasite "Faith" means the will to avoid knowing what is true. |

 (smiles) Poetry comes from the Latin word poesia, meaning "to create" and I believe when a poet uses all the colors of his or her palette, it is a grand creation as this rainbow you've made is, thus you certainly have my vote, yay! (big hugggssssss) This truly is a bridge to the heart, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Rick, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." Shakira [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (02-15-2003 02:52 PM).] |

Oh, I love the expression 'Heaven's Bridge'. What a wonderful way to paint a rainbow, my friend, and this would be such an excellent piece of art for our new book!! Accept these small gifts from my gypsy soul, and let the magik happen! ~~S~~ |

WhiteRose, your reply is very much appreciated and enjoyed, thank you. Sunnyone, so glad you enjoyed the piece, it is wonderful how we can share our thoughts through words, when I was writing this piece, Heaven's Bridge just came into my mind, it was a great feeling. Satisfaction comes in many ways. Thanks for your reply. To you both once again thank you. Sincerely Rick |

"The trees beneath, with glea did dance But humbled to what high had come While all about just stood with glance Until the mist and sun were done I watched with eye and inner thought A painting such is never bought" very true, hard to capture the magic of a rainbow in a painting, but you did wonderfully with your words |
