A Celestial Promise

A Poem by Dawn

The rainbow fades
Is it the tears or the smile?
The dissipating rain
or the dying light?

Horizons of hope
color lives with bated breath.
Where the vow of another sun
awaits beyond the intriguing pitch.

Clinging to fingertips
like dew drops and sighs
the sparkle alights and reveals
a banquet for hungry teeth.

Dazzling, longing grasps deep
tightly wrapped around our bones.
Engraved with Divinity's lightning tongue, "something more"
was written by our stars.

Nature's path
leads to sailing from this
pale world
to the tangible.

We are not compartmentalized
nor constrained to contentment
that only lasts a single breath.
Our stars are real when
we finally embrace them.

It will be a beautiful reunion--indeed.
