Rainbow Colours
Before you took your final breath
Before your spirit soared up high
Your hands so cold, I whispered ‘why’
Without you how could I survive
In the afternoon you left me dear
Deep December such a terrible year
Windows open sun shining through
You began a life anew for you
In utter despair I needed some air
So alone I walked towards the sea
Bestowing such solace to me in the past
Now seeming so dark and cruel to me
High and strong, waves rolled along
The roaring was all consuming
It filled my head this ebb and flow
Soothing my grief my tears were easing
Searching the skies for your goodbyes
A double rainbow before my eyes
Our love unbroken our love immense
Like colours in a rainbow - vibrant and intense
