Rainbow Tears
 

(Soliloquy) I am colors yet I fear the coming shadows A spilling forth of vibrancy depletes me What is left cannot enliven nor sustain me I fear the softened smile has lost its warmth I saw colors once that danced within my view An arc of pastel shades that took my breath away Allowed a fleeting smile within a grey day What remains I cannot see, I dare not look I breathed in colors but they wanted to be free So a broken sigh releases bits of rainbows Diluted hues spill forth in silent overflow An ever present shadow creeps in slowly I was colors once but cannot see the light The thought’s dismissed, such vibrancy dispelled Doubt settles in and thrives as though compelled So comes the shades of grey from times long past Though uncertain of what lies within the shadows A reaching out determines there’s still warmth Such softened hues seen from another’s view So reflected if I’d only stop and look Do cast hesitance aside, from doubts be free Breathe in colors once again surely, slowly Soft rainbows leaping forth from friendship’s light To chase away the shadows of the past © 2006 SilentDream (All rights reserved) 3/23/06

Wow! This is a colorful breathless piece threaded with beautiful meaning. I can also breathe in colors that evaporates from your words. Such a refreshing piece of art that feed both mind and soul. Beautifully penned!
