Rainbows Of Tommorow

"Rainbows of Tomorrow"

Under different circumstances ...
I might have been persuaded,
To wander in your garden
beyond the picket fence.
To wallow in my yesterdays ...
Rivers of tears and sorrow,
Gathering the memories
To fill my emptness.

Somehow it all seems in vain ...
Like forever chasing rainbows,
When in reality all that remains,
is now lost within the shadows.
Visions of landscapes, of skies and seas ...
And dreams of brighter days,
Fade with the memories of you n' me
Like beach sand washed away.

Under different circumstances ...
I might have dreamed of you,
Back when love was youthful
Powerful, strong and true.
Back when I was younger ...
In a picture perfect frame of mind,
Long forgotten the worries of today
In a carefree place in time.

Somehow it all seems to change ...
From better then to worse,
Like an unknown poet searching for
the perfect rhyming verse.
Visions of a future filled ...
with peace and harmony,
In my endless quest for love
Just what will become of me?

Under different circumstances ...
I might have had the time,
To find a moment in my life
To gain some peace of mind.
Maybe then I would have chosen ...
A different path to follow,
A path that would have led me to
The rainbows of tomorrow.

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
