Chasing rainbows

Chasing rainbows

A Poem by Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere)

Chasing rainbows
I caught the dawn
Spider webs
All wet with dew
In their early morn
Mirrored all
Past brightest
Sunsets too
And moonlit nights
And stars a bright
That shone their night


Crazy critters
Come out slow
Vacant paths
Now city slow
Tiny ants
Like incessant workers
Keep running
In case should hungry serpents
Catch them slow

Bottlebrush banksia and gum
Stand up tall to greet warm sun
The night has ended
Kookaburras laugh past dawn
It's morning calling
Greet and welcome
Dance and pray
Time to pull the curtains 'cross
Time to wipe the sleepy eyes away

Before all that beauty dies
Time to chase that rainbow end
Feel the moss
Feel the rush
Of beauty ends
Where's that rainbow I was
Looking for
I looked away it fell a while
It patiently waits on oceans
floor
Waits for rains and thunder
And lightning partner
To come and beckon her
Arched mighty
Brightly wonder

I agree dear Julie.
"Before all that beauty dies
Time to chase that rainbow end
Feel the moss
Feel the rush
Of beauty ends "
We must stop and size-up our life. Ensure we are on the right path. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.
