There is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow,
For no rainbow ever is golden.
You shall reap as you sow,
As we do not deserve this Garden of Eden.
Golden rainbows have been lost in the worm hole,
And now gold within the seven colours is hidden.
Gold only in Eden shall survive into the morrow,
So she hid herself with different colours laden.
With Violet , green , blue ,red and indigo,
Gold has always been smitten.
And in some corner of some cornered summer sky,
Lay a rainbow of autumn color.
Orange , red , brown of fallen leaves were its ally,
Faded green and mahogany were its pallor.
Colours of pathos , colors of sombre , colours of a lost
might,
The autumn colours told a tale of lost valour.
A little sad, a little alone in that cornered summer sky,
No sunset could this rainbow discolour.
Maybe there was a hidden gold in its cry,
That made all the autumn colours look smaller.
We have to find the beauty in the colored rainbow.
ReplyDeleteEach of us does have a different concept of beauty. Sadly commercialism tries to force us to like what they want. We should of course ignore them.
ReplyDeleteThere really is beauty everywhere -- whether it be in gold or in the multi-colors of the rainbow.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mary beauty is everywhere, we just have to take the time to notice.
ReplyDeleteWow! perhaps the Gold is hidden therein--but would digging discover it? Beautiful images in a sad poem.
ReplyDeleteI like that ":cornered summer sky"!!!! An intriguing poem.
ReplyDeleteI second Sherry's comment :-)

ReplyDeletebeauty in eyes peace in heart
ReplyDeleteBeauty is everywhere in nature ~ Autumn is my favorite season ~
ReplyDeleteI do look for beauty in nature, because it is often hard to find it in the events of my life, which tend to be painful.

Exactly, nature is perhaps the one unspoilt habitat for real beauty
DeleteHoly shit that was amazing!
ReplyDeleteSometimes the colours found in relationships or in the song, and maybe somewhere else, but for everyone 'rainbow' - unique.
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed incredible where one can find beauty if one is looking.
ReplyDeleteI really like the first line of the second stanza.
The rainbow may be elusive, but it comes to light when the spirit has hope.
ReplyDeleteSuch a delightful read :)
ReplyDeleteBeauty is in the eye of the beholder.
ReplyDeleteI like this line best: "Colours of pathos , colors of sombre , colours of a lost might," and think that you created a very emotionally interesting (colorful!) poem here for us to ponder.
ReplyDeleteAutumn ... my favourite season!
ReplyDeleteAutumn...a brilliant ending to the growing season...beautiful
ReplyDeleteWe cheer for the summer but can find rainbows in all seasons.
