BEYOND THE RAINBOW’S EDGE — Drips of Ink “Surreal Picture Challenge” Featuring Sharonlee’s Art



BEYOND THE RAINBOW’S EDGE

I dance with the moon,
and the twinkling stars
across the expanses
of space and time,
toward the rainbow’s edge
with the ones who know
and who have found the way
toward a better tomorrow.

I dance with the children
upon the edge of today
and sing along
as together once more
we continue on the way
to the rainbow’s edge and beyond,
those bands of vibrant color,
once so elusive and out of reach.
But I can see them now so clearly,
and join in their pilgrimage
along with the children
who have led all the way
with eyes that have seen,
with hearts that have known
all along exactly what
the rainbow holds.

So I join along with them
and what they know,
my eyes focused straight ahead,
for they’ve shown me
what there is beyond
this place where I now stand.
I gladly join with them
on this magical journey
toward the rainbow and beyond,
that better place that they have known
and have come back here to share,
that place where peace and joy exists,
that place beyond the rainbow’s edge,
a future where everyone gets along,
