You are beautiful,
but never let me too close.
Always near the door.

Dear rainbow, I seek
not to capture or cage you…
But I wish you’d stay.

Maybe you'll find yourself
Among the seashells and sand
The new horizon along the ocean might cleanse your soul
The crisp breeze off the water may cool your gaping wounds
The salty water could blend with your tears until all the bad is washed out and
It will disappear with the tide

My only fear is that
You
Will
Too
I am challenged.

I deny it.
I consider it.
I face it.
I conquer it.

It was easier than I expected.
Don't avoid things because they seem too challenging. You could be missing out.
Are they horses racing upon an infinite horizon,
Gods and goddesses thrusting lightning bolts towards one another,
Fishes jumping up high from a misty embrace,
Or just white and grey clouds rumbling through the evening sky?

Sunlight trails along the fluffy white giants, outlining the puffs in a golden mist.
Darker cloud fronts drifting away, sulking down into the shadows,
Silhouettes of distant hawks soar against the shades of blue that paint the sky.
The sun illuminates low hanging thinner clouds with a faint pink glow.

The fiery sun goddess bows nearly beneath the cloudy horizon,
Darkening the sky and setting the pink clouds dancing with the colour of flames.
Soon the blues are overwhelmed with darkness and the clouds fade with the sun.
