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