A jaundiced life pulls you downAged rungs of a ladder...
The higher you climb
The harder you fall!
Disproving, opprobrious, cynical
and bitterness...
The decaying spirit
The more you chew
Rot, it intensifies!
Bigoted, blind, warped
and distorted...
Through these eyes
The unseeing, they stumble!
Stand erect and find solace,
Sunrise of a new day...
Your soul's harmony awaits
Seek and find the rainbow!!
Wilting, withering, discolor
and fading...
Once creation of a rose
the petals now are blighted!
Pursue, chase, look high
Look low...
Cheer the day you live
It's there, the rainbow!!

ReplyDeleteHow does one write such inspired words "on the spur of the moment?" You are talented, dear Anni. Wonderful picture!
ReplyDeleteI knew that you had written that when I first began reading because it sounds like you.
