I heard one day, from someone I knew,
At the end of the rainbow, is a treasure,
A pot of gold, that doubles each day,
I wept that day, with pleasure
I set out soon, after a rainy day,
To find, that pot of gold,
All alone, I travelled each mile,
Chasing the rainbow, as I watched it unfold
Soon I found, a passer by,
I told him, what I had heard,
He joined my quest, and we walked together,
Mile by mile, always undeterred
As we travelled, we met more souls,
They joined our quest, for the gold,
Walking and talking, we encouraged each other,
As we watched, the endless rainbow unfold
Many a day later, as we walked with purpose,
On our path, a wise man we met,
We told him, of what we did seek,
He laughed and told us, the quest to forget
He told us we were fools, laughed again,
But I told him, I had found the gold,
Friends by my side, I found each day,
To help me chase, the dreams I once sold
Like gold, they never stop shining,
I find more friends, every day,
I never did find, the rainbow’s end,
But I did find my pot of gold that day

Poetry & writing are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
