I thought I saw a rainbow with its lights on
it glittered through the dark
all multi-hued
I thought I saw it, people sliding on it
laughing as they sped
it felt so good
I thought I saw you there among the others
head thrown back
a twinkle in your eyes
I smiled to see you happy, that made me so
I thought I saw it
behind dreaming lies
I think I thought that dreaming was believing
I think I thought
you slid on rainbows too
I think tonight I’ll dream in black and white so
I never think those thoughts
of light and you
Trouble is that rainbows come unbidden
arcs of promise
beckoning, come on
sliding on its curves
the light self-risen
coloured realm that always draws me in
See you on the rainbow, silver’d lining
promissory arch
as each day dawns
slide awhile with me, it costs us nothing
just words of love
and thoughts, fresh coloured, every morn.
Happy New Year, everyone! May your days be filled with light and colour. Thank you so much for your continued support. I appreciate every visit and comment. All the best to each and everyone for 2016. Hugs and love. You’re a grand crew!xox

The rainbows and certain wording, I sense a little melancholy and memories you may wish to keep at bay. I could relate to this element and prefer to see black and white than go back to those emotional days of highs and lows in the rainbow world. Hugs, Robin
PS. Hope it is okay to be interpreting your beautiful words of poetry. ♡

Of course it is, Robin. I love the varied interpretations readers have. I’m not in the least sad although perhaps some of the look-back-over-the-year element has crept in and there’s always room for improvement there. I rather like black and white as well as colour so I might just be kidding myself. 😉

Beautiful poem. I love the idea that rainbows and color comes unbidden. I think they do. Even in the darkest times there is the hope.
