Chased By Rainbows

My rear-view mirror spells it out – I’m chased by rainbows, tailed by dreams. The sun over my shoulder uses what storm clouds brewed and funnels formed to redeem my back-trail; car tires churn and toss a spray that, when hit by brilliance, pursues my past with glory personified. * The rain was just breaking…

My rear-view mirror

spells it out –

I’m chased by rainbows,

tailed by dreams.

The sun over my shoulder uses

what storm clouds brewed

and funnels formed

to redeem my back-trail;

car tires churn

and toss a spray

that, when hit by brilliance,

pursues my past

with glory personified.

The rain was just breaking up this morning when I glanced in my rearview mirror.  I was, in truth, being chased by rainbows.  What a lovely thought, that my past can be redeemed and made into something beautiful!

    Okay, this has somehow surpassed Wow-Wonderful. I think you’re just showing off or something–(wink!) Really, I love it–putting it with my “keepsakes”, thanks! God bless you–love, Caddo

      It was a ‘moment’, driving with my backtrail in redemption’s grip. Powerful life lesson!

        Yey!
        Enjoy your weekend. I have to tell you I actually planted something yesterday, and thought of you – some grass seed mix (Grass Seed For Dummies). With the wind at my back, walking backwards, I did something USEFUL, and got my hands dirty.

    I am enjoying your poetry & your photos. Are the flowers all from your garden?
    They are gorgeous!

      Thanks! Yes, these are all from my garden – the last of the season, I’m afraid. I’ll have to find some alternate subjects to last me the winter through!
