The Last rainbow
I missed the last rainbow now back is my storm,
My world is now dark all my pastels are gone.
I missed the last rainbow ~ Did it appear at night,
Now my world is in darkness with no ray of light.
I missed the last rainbow perhaps I just fell asleep,
Now in my storm I must climb a mountain too steep.
I missed the last rainbow and there's no more in sight,
Immersed in my darkness both in daytime and at night.
I missed the last rainbow and the gold at it's end,
For me there are no more rainbows ever again.
I missed the last rainbow my eyes just didn't see,
And now my world is consumed in complete misery.
I missed the last rainbow; I guess I arrived here too late,
That shouldn't surprise me for such is my luck and fate.
I missed the last rainbow and now I only see clouds,
Trapped in a world of darkness ~ no hope is allowed.
I missed the last rainbow or maybe this time I'm wrong,
And just maybe another rainbow will soon come along.
If I'm lucky a new rainbow will chase away all my rain,
No longer in my storm perhaps I'll no longer feel my pain.
If by some miracle a rainbow ever blesses my dark sky,
It will bless me with hope and a new chance for me to try.
I'll ride my magic rainbow until I come to the very end,
And my storm clouds will never darken my pastels again.
Love and Light and Rainbows Bright,

Nature's Beauty
Above the world, where morning mist joins sky
Witnessed only by the Proud Eagle as it flies
The clouds and mist roll in and cover the land
Only to lift weightlessly and roll back out again.
The water reflects it's image on the rugged cliffs
A portrait of nature's wondrous and elusive gifts
As sunrise greets morning sun and as mist subsides
A clearer vision, fully apparent, now meets the eyes.
The ever changing nature's worldly masterpiece
In the ephemeral atmosphere which doesn't cease
Each new daybreak blesses us with a distinct sky
If we neglect it's unique beauty we deprive our eyes.
For nature's wonders suspend for not a single man
The power of it's beauty missed, won't come again
And the mist surrounds the morning fog and combines
In such an exquisite promise of enlightening our minds.
Love and Light,

Adrift on the sea....
I feel as though I am adrift on the sea,
Now that you are no longer with me.
I feel like my anchor was washed ashore,
And that I may be drifting, forevermore.....
Darling, please tell me what caused you to leave,
Did you not know the way that I'd grieve?
Surely you knew that without you I'd die,
For you stole my heart which once kept me alive.
And try as I can to also leave you behind,
I can't get you out of my heart or my mind.
I still miss your kiss and being held in your arms,
I will always remember all of your special charms.
Drifting alone on the sea and in mourning I weep,
I'm all alone with only my memories to keep.
Memories of you and me and our special love,
I pray to God and I look for Him in Heaven above.
Is God still up there or is He also gone,
It was God, dear, and you that, kept me going on.
It was your gentle kisses, your welcome embrace,
And the smile that always was worn on your face.
It was your sweet words and pet nick names for me,
That made my life worth living, why couldn't you see?
Alone now, and drifting on my endless sea of despair,
My eyes play their tricks, and I imagine you still here.
Don't leave me drifting alone; I can't see the shore,
Without you I have nothing left to dream of anymore.
Minus you I am less than I've ever have been in my past,
Without your love ~ a love that I was so sure would last.
Love and Light,

Winter Cruelty
The cruelty of the stars dance in the moonlight,
The winter's freeze dances on the trees.
The clouds try to hide the dancing stars,
But most is quiet with the clouds tonight.
As with all winter chills love isn't in the air,
Nothing keeping my feet from freezing.
Nothing keeping my breath from materializing,
Nothing to keep my heart from dying.
Only you, and you have chosen to go with the sun,
To brighter skies and warmer hearts.
You've left me behind, the one that loved you,
Oh, it's so easy for men to find prey.
So for me the sleet falls off my roof like a playground slide,
And the tears run down my cheeks like ocean tides.
And the cries out loud I scream in protest die in mid-air,
Because you've gone so far away you'll never see another winter's day.
