“Chasing Rainbos”

By Gina Briseno

 

 

Desciption of Submission: “Poem of pride in all forms” - Gina

 

 

 

You never really know when your one true love will come along

You never really know when that perfect person will fit that perfect song

You never really know when time will stand still long enough…

            To catch that rainbow

You reach to the sky for answers

You talk to a cloud for hope

You breathe in the air for a refresher

You close your eyes for your heart to cope

Coping with the feeling of never finding that one special person

Coping with the reality of never being happy

Coping with the vision of being alone and your heart will never grow

 

And then, just then… the rain clears and you have a chance

            To catch that rainbow

Chasing rainbows from storm to storm

Chasing rainbows for years and years

Chasing rainbows for all the wrong reasons until one day you hear:

“A rainbow represents the pride in our community, the never ending hope for peace, the everlasting dream of acceptance”

Today I see a rainbow and the meaning is so much more

Today I no longer have to chase that rainbow

For it is arched around me and my family forever more
