On A Rainbow

I hopped on a rainbow today
diamond dust flowed from the sky
for my viewing pleasure

Soft as a lover’s whisper
moist air kissed my cheek
I drank in the multi-colored universe
     overwhelmed
becoming one with those
who had journeyed here before me
and those who would travel here in the future
the scent of eternity intoxicated me

And even now
threads of starlight weave themselves
through the blinds
and a blanket of good thoughts covers me

Author's Note

Tommorow is the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur. Today I reflect on my life up until now. I drink in all that has happened in the past while stepping into the future.

I enjoyed it. Of course I love rainbows for many reasons: they give a positive feeling, rainbows are a symbolism of the various differences on one generalized topic..... ok going off the trail a bit. But most of all rainbows bring out positive reactions from people and the way you expressed that in this poem was remarkable.

WOW. this is an amazing little poem. I don't know if I am ever settled enough to simply step in and "drink in the multicolored universe." Beautiful write.

I loved this pom. That sense of Positivity and the warmth of that smiling feeling filled me when i read this. I can relate to this in many ways. And i loved the artwork you chose for this poem to...

I like that feeling smiles.Makes me think about the clouds.And up there seems like another world.My 1st plane ride I was amazed and my thoughts were this as close as ill ever be to the clouds.If only I could touch them I thought deep in my mind:)

I honestly didn't like it that much, i didn't get the meaning of it that well.
Also i like poems that rhyme that's just me, to me if they don't most of them don't sound very poetic.
As you can see by your millions of other comments that this poem did connect to plenty of others so thats great.

I did Adore the picture, goes great with the poem and is very beautiful, wonder where you found that.
Keep writing as all writers should :)

Rainbows are so magical! I take some time to reflect each year near my birthday so that is something I can relate to. You have such a beautiful gift with words. This poem is just so soft and bright and warm.
