Suddenly a rainbow appears in the sky
a sign and symbol maybe of another life
created from reflections cast by the sun
through the many layers of abiding love.  

Like children all are we on a Ferris wheel
from sky to land to test and feel
until withdrawn we go to mourn
the days and nights of human life.

As beauty in the sky must leave
so too must we learn how to grieve
and blend and mix internally
truth, fact, fiction, and folk lore.

What really is opposed to dreams,
what magic we believe is real,
and how through pain we still can flow  
back to the source of all and more.  

And rainbow nations here on land
will too one day hold in their hands
the power and the fuel of love
to seek and find the pot of gold.    

But how many days and lifetimes yet
before we reach the rainbow’s end?

Helen

Great ponderings. One day ... hopefully soon!
