rivers fall
a rainbow
to appease a hurricane
brushed into
the places
once i grieved
tears surrendered
everything
thought of nothing more
than a hurt to heal
years for letting in
beyond the sky
of smokescreen –
beyond the reach
of lies
came of love
to find me –
waiting still
beneath a stretch of color
rainbows
i have seen –
reflecting me a river
in your eyes

. . .
