Welcome to Issue 69
Darkmoon Winning Entry
Rainbows Unseen
The clouds rollin in
They ensnare the light
My happiness is taken
I've no energy to fight
Clouds gather their strength
Finally darken to black
Warmth leaves my heart
I can't take it back
Burdens form into rain
Falling from the skies
Why can't they see
Tears fall from my eyes?
The wind is lashing
The thunder grows louder
I feel myself crashing
Won't stand this much longer
The rain pauses suddenly
The clouds break away
But I don't notice
The rescue coming my way
A light comes out
The rays are bending
I'm surrounded by friends
Their help they are lending
A raindow is hung
Between two clouds apart
Love's colors have an
Affect on my heart
But very few pause
And look with wonder
Why don't they notice
Colors displayed instead of thunder?
The storm passes on
The rainbow passes away
But I'll always feel
It's lasting affect on me
Perhaps you can only appreciate
The lasting rainbows that form
Only after you've felt the rain
Only after you've survived the storm.
