A Break In The Grey

Picture taken by me, poem inspired by the partial rainbow

 

There cannot be rain

Without a cloudy day

And without those showers

My soul would never be cleansed.

If my soul was never cleaned

It would eventually be buried in dirt

And getting entombed prematurely

Would make me the walking dead.

If I were to become a zombie

I would miss out on  a colorful life

And not appreciating living colors

I’d never experience my piece of the rainbow.

I really enjoyed the flow of "if-then" in this poem. You really explain how precious and fragile life is and how we all need to be thankful for the beautiful lives we are given.

Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it and love what you took from it.

and all you might want to do is "eat brains"--

although stay away from me, because mine is half-eaten already...and would be scarcely a meal...

george romero moment in this...love the description that is so macabre.

I’d never experience my piece of the rainbow. Fantastic line, "I wish you'd abbreviate on that one some more." Charming work...and I see you have an eye for the camera. :))

An appreciation of the ability to see one's beautiful surroundings, be them, minor, they can fulfil the soul, I do agree.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you for your comments.

Love that pic Dale...your verse is much more colorful and the message is spot on....rainbows, rain, it's all part of life. Did you melt yet by the way? Good one!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you so much moonbeam... your praise made my morning.
