Poetry - Raindows and Dreams

 

Rainbows and Dreams

I close my eyes and don't understand...
Why do people do the things they do...
I push them away and want to hide.

I see the clouds gathering with thunder too...
All the rain and myst hides what I once knew...
Those coming closer don't matter anymore.

Why do those you love, family and friends...
Push you away and now you can't even believe...
Please take all this away do I can be free again.

Time to fly, living dreams I still have inside...
I'm falling blindly, oh Lord what can I do now...
So dark, but suddenly light and a soft place.

And angel appears calling you saying gently..
"Jamie, you’re finally ready for dreams come true...
Boy, I have some great surprises just for you.

You are so precious, beautiful with a loving heart...
If you believe in yourself then the darkness will go away...
Come here, open your heart and tell me your story.

You approach and the angel takes your hands into his...

Eyes sparkle, kissing you on your lips, smiles appear...
You think, yes I believe and want so much more now.

I never knew I'd be given a chance such as this...
Dreams you had as a child, are become real...
You need only to accept love and let your heart fly free.

So much is spinning that you can't seem to focus now...
Yes, the sun appears along with a radiant rainbow...
All because you believe and God brings love into your heart.
