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.

Happy Yom Kippur, Lydia! I am as well taking time out to
Reflect upon my actions, of the past year and try to seek atonement,

. That said, your poem paints a spectulauar landscape of


Spiritual imagery of the beauty of stars, lessons that one can
Learn from the universe.

Exquisitely written poem and I love the artwork you added to this.
