Ever since the Creator stroked His brush across the sky
Splashing an array of splendid colors
Rainbows have signified hopes and dreams
While some search for the pot of gold
I searched for more
Through those many years
Wandering far and wide
Never giving up hope
On one such trek
I found my Golden Grail
Happiness and dreams combined
Rejuvenating my tired Spirit
But like the rainbow, I fear it too will fade away
Much like a momentary illusion
I pray not -
For my Spirit will again darken
Becoming worse than before
But perhaps, it too will return some stormy day
Bringing again hopes and dreams
Like a rainbow, showering its golden light into my being

Comments: This poem was written a number of years ago as I contemplated perfect love. While the poem refers to the impermanence of love, it really speaks to impermanence in general. It also speaks of hope and the romantic in each of us.
