PRISMS OF FATE
fading brightness
from mountains of glory
to canyons of fate
golden shades melting
turning into brown
the stars have dimmed
in the sky once bright
shine your rainbow prism
through the rift of clouds
where my feet will follow
and my heart will hold
visions of the dark night
this never-ending rain
full of sorrow and pain
where my hands bleed
against my aching heart

This is so reminiscent of the floods, Amanda… sad and tight!
And yet, the immense beauty in this poem is just like that of mother nature… gentle, and yet bold!
Very beautiful, my dear…
And OH YEA, it is soooo good to have you back!!! 🙂

Beautiful imagery, I could think of the setting sun throwing it’s golden light on mountains, slowly fading into twilight, and then the black of the night. You really have a way with bringing out emotions using such vivid imagery. Always a delight to read your poetry. Wonderful poem!

This one started out colorfully but ended in anguish – quite a turn-around, emphasized by the difference. Makes my hug reflex tingle. Strong stuff, Buttercup!

Ha! I bet you feel like you have been tossed inside the winds of a hurricane and dropped into the Land of Oz! May you soon be able to click your shiny red shoes together and wish yourself back to beautiful Australia. It will happen.
