RAINBOW

I remember the simpler times

When I thought it was god’s bow in the sky

The colors were filled by fairies

I didn’t know what it was, still it gave me joy

But Now it’s just a rainbow,

I see the colors but don’t feel the joy

Lately I stopped looking up in the sky

Life has shown so many colors

I stopped caring for the colors in the bow

But the child inside kicks me every now and then

Asks me why don’t I have colors in my life

The colors I adored and craved as kid

Why the heart is shadowed with darkness

Why can’t I find joy in simpler things?

Little does he know, that time has gone

That kid has grown…

For him, the rainbow is gone, forever.
