One Life's Reflection . . .
Rainbows Of Tomorrow
Under different circumstances ...
I might have been persuaded,
To wander in your garden
beyond the picket fence.
To wallow in my yesterdays ...
Rivers of tears and sorrow,
Gathering the memories
To fill my emptness.
Somehow it all seems in vain ...
Like forever chasing rainbows,
When in reality all that remains,
is now lost within the shadows.
Visions of landscapes, of skies and seas ...
And dreams of brighter days,
Fade with the memories of you n' me
Like beach sand washed away.
Under different circumstances ...
I might have dreamed of you,
Back when love was youthful
Powerful, strong and true.
Back when I was younger ...
In a picture perfect frame of mind,
Long forgotten the worries of today
In a carefree place in time.
Somehow it all seems to change ...
From better then to worse,
Like an unknown poet searching for
the perfect rhyming verse.
Visions of a future filled ...
with peace and harmony,
In my endless quest for love
Just what will become of me?
Under different circumstances ...
I might have had the time,
To find a moment in my life
To gain some peace of mind.
Maybe then I would have chosen ...
A different path to follow,
A path that would have led me to
The rainbows of tomorrow.

Some warm and tender reflective phrasing here Ken - -love the term "rainbows of tomorrow" - - very evocative verse, and well themed.
Carol - Not during that chapter of my life .. It was way to overcast for a rainbow to appear. Thx for commenting - greatly appreciated. Ken
Wistful musings about "what ifs" in ones life - a brilliant theme, nicely rhymed. Great!
rainbows maybe if you looked more good write
This is very nice with such a hint of sadness...but I know this feeling
