I remember going through a period of depression/darkness and wondering why I had not seen a rainbow in a while.
I recovered and began to smile again. Then I remember, out of nowhere came one of the most beautiful rainbows
I had ever seen! Therefore, I believe it has a lot to do with the state of mind that you are in, as to. whether or
not one is privileged enough to see rainbows!

Dear Teressa,

Something that came to me quite a few years ago, I submit here! Hopefully would still make sense to you or someone who may be reading this :-)


=========================================
RAINBOWS  ALWAYS HAVE  A  PAST
=========================================
Rainbows make my heart so sad
I know that'll make you wonder why
I try to see the beautiful sight
All I remember are clouds so dark
that wiped the virgin blue off the sky
that squelched the golden sun away,
brought this lightning bright and harsh
that burned a gaping hole in my heart.
And the torrents that washed the fields away
that tore the bridge that joined those two
and yet they call it a symbol of love
Can this really be Cupid's bow?
I wish my heart could sing with joy
I wish I could dance with the rest of you
as you sing its glory bright
and wrapped in its magnificient colors
you feel your souls rising in hope
as children look up in curious glee
my heart just sinks and sobs its tears
I love the sight of a rainbow bright
But is it right to forget the storm in its past?

Was really down during the holidays, but feeling a lot improved now, what is interesting is I saw a print of a rainbow against my wall and one on my kitchen counter.

Rainbows are magical symbols of connection....they connect this world with the spirit world.  They represent the communication between the worlds.  And they are a bridge from one side to the other.  All in all they are connection points.

And they come with a little pot of gold (prosperity) at the end.  Grab your own joys.

I totally agree with the connection...

In Greek legend, it was the Goddess Iris (the namesake for the Iris of your eye because of the many colors eyes come in) going down to Earth to take a message from the Gods Themselves to people/deities on Earth.

In Norse mythology, the rainbow was the bridge that connected the home of the Gods (Asgard) to Earth. Heimdall stood watch at the base, making sure all was right in the world.

I like the one with Iris best!
