Rainbow Ribbons

Just a short quatrain inspired by a seriously needed walk

Rainbow Ribbons

In the aftermath of even the most torrential thunderstorm

Rainbow ribbons can occasionally form

Serving as bridges over the darkest gorge

To the vast vales of revenants reborn

The past later half of 2015 and early 2016 have been good for me, but they have also been somewhat stressful.  Following a knee injury I sustained a little over half a year ago that I'm nearly fully recovered from, I lost my inner peace because I could not do one of the things I love to do, run (I know it sounds silly, but it is what it is).  For the time up until recently, I have been trying to find it again, what with school and college preparation, but wasn't able to succeed(don't get me wrong, I was, and still am, having a fantastic senior year!).  However, because of 6 weeks of physical therapy, which has definitely improved my knee, I was able to go for a nice walk again without any pain, and that walk gave me back my inner peace.  This poem I've written here may not be my best, but it is definitely the most inspired one I have written in a long time.  :)

Love the poem.
I'm glad that you are able to get back your inner peace.

Wow, I can truly relate to this. I have someone very close to me that also has lost their inner peace due to the fact they have not been able to run. This was their way to relief stress.
Glad things are well with you now and this was a very touching piece for me. Well done.

Like a phoenix from the flames. Nice one, Doorman. I like the use of the term 'ribbons'. Pleasant sounding word. Like 'cherish' or 'silk'.

After reading this poem and how it came about I think it makes perfect sense that it's short and sweet. Being able to do a little bit of what you love again must have truly felt like a huge relief. There is a great freedom in the feel of running. I remember how excited I was when I ran for the first time after my last surgery two months later. It's empowering :)
After every hell, there will be a light again. And that is very easy to see within your poem. I hope eventually you will be able to full out run again, good luck!

Thanks Amber. Just a few days ago, I actually got the all clear to run again, so now I just have to get back to where I was last summer. It'll take time, but I'll get back there eventually. Thanks for reviewing! :)
