.........Walking The Rainbow
I put one foot down lightly,
Walk from blue to yellow,
Admire gold glittering,
Shimmering
Trees into wizards'
Spells...
Did I not walk this way
Before?
Step from gold to red...
Hold the light of stars
Speeding
Away from the Earth?
Come back! Oh, please
Come back!
But, set on their way...
Never back.
I step from red to
Purple,
The color of royalty
In ancient Tyre. A king.
A queen.
Did I wear the Purple,
Or was I a beggar in
The streets...
From purple back to
Blue.
Did I see that Mayan
Blue?
Know how it was mixed?
Or, was I sacrificed
At dawn, while Quetzals
Flew
In beauty?
A while on the Rainbow...
Gazing, dreaming,
Desiring...
Ah, it was ever so...
All I ever wanted was
A place in
The sun...
