..... dreams unfold .....

...

spot a rainbow, catch a view
spectrum of colors with every hue

they seem to melt into each other
imaging what might ... discover

at the end lies a pot of gold
at least this is the story told

make a wish of a special place
over the rainbow in outer space

remember back when was young
would catch raindrops with the tongue

everything then seemed so grand
dreamt about of some far off land

as grew older and out of touch
all of these, didn’t matter as much

things had seen many times before
pale in contrast as see them more

the simplest things have beauty to behold
like in the morning as flowers unfold

birds wake up and sing their song
and wonder where it all went wrong

used to climb the highest tree
at the top for miles would see

it felt as if could touch the sky
or spread wings and start to fly

as grew older the newness was gone
days of innocence for which one longed

the rainbow reminds of what’s beyond
but the ripples are confined to the pond

and suddenly begin to break free
beauty surrounds in all that one sees

at the end lies that pot of gold
just wish ......... never grow old
