Rainbow of Memories

Out the window I look,

Following a large batch of rooks,

The sun almost drown,

Behind the sky’s orange lines that's turning brown.

Thoughts of past fill me in,

Swirling through my mind in gracious mean,

I hold back my tears,

So the memories won’t come near.

I don’t need to be reminded,

Of the pains and miseries I’ve landed,

Shear me if you like,

But don’t push me into something I dislike.

I forced my mind for a detour –

A detour full of happy times and not of lure,

Where my mind and heart rest at best,

And alive in the delectable moment of zest.

The scent of fresh bloomed roses,

Sent the butterflies looking for sweet honey doses,

On the bed of those devil reds I laid,

Savoring the time before it’s too late.

The world has stopped spinning,

And the time has stopped ticking,

Will I ever have days like this again?

Or my life will decide to forever sit in rain?

But that’s matter not,

Because happiness will never rot,

So I kept on smiling,

For the sunshine will keep me from falling.

Back into the real I fear,

Carrying a big smile never the mere,

My heart is now free,

And the sadness is now leaving me.

I seat with peace,

Knowing the memories will keep me at ease,

When life is falling apart,

It will grip me back from the bottom of my heart.

When the owls hooting at nights,

It will send me a hideous fright,

So that’s when it comes to rescue me,

My wonderful rainbow of memories.
