My last post was a month ago. So much for sharing more often! But life has been full of things to "move on" and get back into a "routine", if there is such a thing! My routine has been helping others as well as myself; and a lot of thinking and relaxing, remembering and pondering what's to be next in this crazy life of being single; a widow. Whatever it may be called, there are new dreams and adventures and hopes and future things I still hope to have...
Last month's post was titled "The Storms of Life" shared a wish I had after moving into my new apartment; one that has a beautiful view of the city - a great place to see the night lights and fireworks...
My wish was to see a rainbow; and is shared in this poem, "A Rainbow Wish":
A Rainbow Wish
My wish was to see
A Rainbow,
As I gazed from my
New apartment.
One last wish to assure me:
I am where I belong.
But still no rainbow;
Even with so much rain,
No rainbow of hope;
No wish come true.
Instead,
I see...
Cars zooming by
On the bridges and streets
Of downtown and
Surrounding my apartment building.
Murals on buildings
In the distance,
The buildings towering.
To the sky.
The colors of the sky,
Sunrise to sunset
And all the hours
In between.
Lights shining on the buildings,
And from their windows;
Bridges lit with bright colors,
Traffic lights changing
From green to yellow to red,
The cycle of change constant.
And fireworks lighting up
The night sky
With colors of...
A Rainbow!
Guess He has shown me
A Rainbow
Afterall!!
A Rainbow of colors,
Of hope,
Outside my window,
The place where I belong.
