rainbow bridge

her rainbow connects this world to the next
arched across her skies, it's monochrome - a
rainbow in black and white, and shades of
gray

see her take the first step on one end
as the clouds wither away, flying silver dust
all around - with her every step
heavy

and she walks with pride as the leaves fall
away and all around her, autumn in heaven
or wherever she is or someplace above
distant

with nothing and none surrounding
her rainbow to walk upon and nothing besides
with a soul filled with confusions, longing and painful
pride

she walks an ineveitable walk of loneliness
making leaves, clouds disappear with her words
across the rainbow that slowly shatters - she, her face
proud

with a put-on all knowing smirk
