Rahsash Geldich Posted January 12, 2002 Report Share Posted January 12, 2002 A bit of sunshine found me today I was surprised, after being so sure That I had wandered too far to be reached By the suns warming rays. It rained down gently from the skies, Drifiting across my fingertips and Shining in brilliant facets to cast Rainbows that gave peace and dried eyes. I looked up, wanting to find the source Of this bit of happiness that cradels And tells me I'll be okay, that the world Will be okay again, my ship will be back on course. But it eluded my sight, hiding from me Behind a cloud. And as long as I searched, It stayed away. Finally, I gave up and Looked back into the world; What will I see? But there is the sunshine again! I smile, and it strains my face from Disuse, or maybe misuse, but the light Turns into gold my death-white skin. I look around my once black world Clouds fly overhead, shadowing the green Hills and the wind runs too, pulling The wildflowers, colors swirled. I stand up and laugh, for I have again seen The day for what it is. I realise what I've missed, and what I need. I catch The little rainbows, turn them into birds that keen. I run with the wind and dance throughout The flowers, regaining myself whom I Thought lost, my love of the world Reclaimed. This is what I needed, no doubt. Shatterings- The shadows of depression flew Out from nowhere, Trying to pull me back to them "Please, Please! We need you with us!" I run. "Leave me alone! Don't you understand? I need me too!" I race down the hill, and the rainbows encase My shoulders and I have wings as they! I soar through the air up and up to the moon. And I find the shadows have lost their chase. I fear to go back, knowing the Shatterings are There. I sit and cry in the never-dark of the moon And the coyotes and dogs back on the ground Look up and cry too, Howling at the biggest non-star. But the rainbows follow me here! They Dry my tears yet again and help me to my feet And float me back to earth. They coat me in Sparkle, and I am sure they know a way. I curl up among the drifting wildflowers, And look back the way I came. And now I see That now, I am silver as the moon above, Basked in its never-dark showers. I drift off to sleep, knowing it is guarded From the Shatterings. And in the morning I see the sunrise and the rainbows return to me With the bit of sunshine, during the night hoarded. Its gold soothes me, but I don't forget the moon Who guarded me during the night. It is even Here during the day, still in the sky, watching me and telling me, tonight I'll be as safe at I am at noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
