Chinese whispers

Like all secrets
once said...

there are no colours
when you reach
the rainbow..

no wish comes true
from the wishing well

and every heart
that has ever loved
has or will be
broken.

a sad but unfortunately true fact of living. without heart ache life is not lived, only passed through

Thank you Ken.

Is that true? Every single heart has to be broken if it can love? What a rigged game life is.
The second stanza should be a poem all alone. It says so much.
Why doesn't a wish come true from a wishing well? The action empowers the intent, this shifts all the energies, which is magic and a wish is merely an informal invocation (as opposed to a prayer) so it seems like that part is um...questionable? To a pagan at any rate
I had so much fun reading and thinking about this, thank you

In search for true love a broken heart is inevitable because no two hearts are the same and the quest requires a few wrong uns along the way. Thanks for a lovely review.
