Dearest friend
There from the beginning and probably the end
Let's not go there quite yet
Dried my tears
Calmed my fears
You listened when there was nobody there too
Honored to be given the gift and treasure of you in my life
Henry David and you are my muses
Mother Nature and Father Sky approve
Your lessons have made me stronger and more resilient
More caring and care in a world where that isn't easy to come by
Lucky enough you have been the companion that let's me be myself
When others turned their backs or didn't want to be bothered
You were there and have always been
Thanks for all you have given and shared

C@rainbowchaser2021

Walk it
Run it
Drive it
Quickly
Speedily
Dreamily
See it with different eyes
Embrace what you remember
Open your heart and mind for what may come your way
Down that road again
Down that road again
Dont take me down that road again
I know where I am going and where I have been
Just wanted you to let me in
Hoped to follow a  different bend
Don't take me down tbat road again

(Song lyrics?)

She is pelting the Big Apple after she took aim at the Big Easy
Sorry that you dealt with another storm
Pouring rain and humidity all day til seven pm
Yet, Jif the squirrel was in his tree
The ducks found shelter though they would rather swim in their pond
The black cat sat under a car leering at passersby
Walk for health and charity is done daily for the ASPCA
Clears the mind and feeds the soul
Poor dogs and cats need help and every step does just that
Zeta rain

Three of you crossed my path or flew over me this week
Messengers of good and happiness in the future
May your wishes be shared with all the first responders, essential workers doing their utmost out there for all of us
My heart goes out to those who have lost friends and loved ones
My heart goes out to the dramatic changes and loss of livelihood many must endure
Most of all to the educators, experienced, certified, and newly anointed as they teach from home
It was my field of endeavor and still is
Technology and Media Literacy people are reactivated daily
We have always been there but perhaps you did not notice
Perhaps you all know now just how important teachers, paraprofessionals, administrators and all educational support staff really are
Darling Bluebirds hope to make your acquaintance again

C@rainbowchaser2020

Four months have flown by and still we cry
Sleep is still off and tensions running high
Two more Mothers have joined her
One yesterday and the other a week ago
My friends lost their mothers too
Cards were sent and questions
As much as grief is in my life now
How can I help them"
I will when and if they reach out
How many more before 2020 ends?
Another loved one transcends
Our parents loved each other
They are all together again

C@rainbowchaser2020

Can we be uncertain yet optimistic?
Hugs are passion personified gently.
Seize your moments as you do your days.
Believe with your heart.
Touch with your soul.
See with your ears.
Feel with your eyes.
Know that change takes time to work through though it seems an instant
Have no expectations and just journey on towards your imagination
Hoping you will find a creative, sensitive, and sophisticated environment
Look for me there because that is where I will be found

C@rainbowchaser2021

Not an oldies song though it is heard on Sirius radio.
When you love someone trying to run and ruin your life
You learn that you don’t like them
Narcissistic tendencies don’t make sense to the sensitive and or creative types
Like those who read and teach Thoreau and hike Walden Pond
When you have a connection and experience touching Henry David's Desk
Those who are different know the score
Now, you are Inside looking out
No explanation should be necessary, as it were
As it is

She shares the same birthday with the 46th President of the USA.
Happy Birthday, Joe!
She is a week older than Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg.
She shares other Kennedy family birthdays.
The word Rotunda still frightens her because she heard it echoed when our President was assassinated when she was little
She is a Scorpio who brings in the winter Holidays every year even though she was born in the Fall
She is caring, generous, creative, and Kind to a fault.
A Beautiful heart with a plain Jane face but her husband begs to differ
Happy Birthday Scorpio Girl

C@rainbowchaser2022

Different combinations
Different techniques
The flow
The feelings
The messages
Think of the lyrics that are written
Reimagined
Not only do they take your breath away
They change your heartbeats
Taking you to places and spaces
You have never been before
Words

Not always the writer's intent
Sometimes they are screaming on a page
Others make love to it
Took time to know that artists do much more with words than they are given credit
No matter what your genre is, if you write than you can hear me
It was never meant for to happen
The fact that it did is a gift
You all are gifted and you perfect and polish your craft
Can you see yourself?
Your heart is on your pages but where are your eyes?

C@rainbowchaser2020

It resets
As you must do gently
If flies and soars
It is precious
Few and fleeting
Respect it yourself as you do others
Appreciate time and remember memories are incredible but you want to be a lot more than photographs and memories when your time is up
Hopefully that won’t be for a very long time

Dedicated to my sister,Meryl

C@rainbowchaser2021

You looked longer than you should have
Luckily, he didn't notice
I didn't tell him
He knows about you and sure as the sun shines daily he would have punched you and knocked you out
Then shook your hand for leaving and hurting me
Looking up was my way out
That is what I did through your eyes when that no longer should have been
Yesterday was long ago and so was nineteen
No more lectures
No more Dr. Ruth classes, yes that one
That moment and you are gone except for nightmares of you and that little boy lost forever
Little girl found

C@rainbowchaser2021

You see something the mirror refuses to show me
Those blue eyes still delight and hold surprises
Somebody up above made sure you were the one
That dear departed one knew something somehow
Still surprised when you stare a moment longer
When those hugs linger and go on and on
You make me laugh when the tears keep flowing
I will never know how the magic of you surrounds me
You will know you are treasured and adored
Yet, there is so much more
I will never know
Baby, How did you?

C@rainbowchaser2021

Trying to get on with it
Just had so much to take
Maybe too much
Its job so very much like the climate
Dealing with it takes time, adjustment and great care
You scramble when it's too late
Is it too late?

C@rainbowchaser2021

Did my parents reunite?
Did they find my grandparents?
Siblings and other family and friends
Was my golden retriever there from the rainbowbridge?
Hard to be an adult orphan but I am now.
Sending hugs and love to those who left too soon
Photographs and memories comfort us
If there are such things as angels watching over us, all of us.
There is no heaven on earth right now
What matters simply does not matter any longer
RBG,we will never forget you.
Say Hi to my Mom another Brooklyn girl in Heaven

C@rainbowchaser2020

Nature is my favorite companion while walking
Little butterflies the size of half of a U.S.Dime seem to enjoy my company
The fact that sulfur colored butterflies symbolize positivity
alluded me but it fits
Lilac flowers of the same size and baby daisies
All people should live in peace and harmony
Prejudice needs to go the way of all disappointnents
The hope of all out weighs what  the US President wants
So be a butterfly
Enjoy life and stay as happy as you can

Not things that go bump in the night
Not nightmares that repeat with no end in sight
But rather what cant be explained
Understood or continued because what needed to be
Accepted
Never happened inspite of the best intentions
In some cases used to bes cant be counted like before just like unnatural fears and never ending tears

C@rainbowchaser2020

The drama takes your time
The toxic suffocates your spirit
What is precious and beautiful mystifies some
While others focus on their fires
Let them
It is nit about their accepting or even understanding
You have taken all of this hard
Take it gently

C@rainbowchaser2019

In the wee hours of the morning
When walking and listening to Nature's calls is vetter than any gym
Sensations and scents in the kitchen
Lyrics that can be tweaked though sometimes leaving them be seems right
An unplanned for treat on a stormy day
Eavesdropping and ideas just come forward like falling stars
You are talking to me
Taking it in and digesing what to do as you craft and play with it
It speaks to me

You see something the mirror refuses to show me
Those blue eyes still delight and hold surprises
Somebody up above made sure you were the one
That Dear departed one knew something somehow
Still surprised when you stare a moment longer
When those hugs linger and go on and on
You make me laugh when the tears keep flowing
I will never know how the magic of you surrounds me
You will know you are treasured and adored
Yet ,there is so much more
I will never know

C@rainbowchaser2021

Today's term for letting go and getting on with life.
Tbree strikes you're out is my measuring stick
You grieve and mourn the loss in different way
Go through it and be done
Then you wish them well and enjoy every second without the burden of toxicity around you
If you are ghosting just set yourself and them free
You fly higher and sleep soundly
c@rainbowchaser2019

A nightmare
Unthinkable
We are all victims if this does not end
Lift the radar and understand that troubled souls need to helped
It is a loss to Minnesota
The family and friends
The trend must end
Another horrible mistake
Caused by the tragedy of
Inhabitant of the White House along with
His cast of incorrigble characters

Those of us making change
Positive and lasting kind
Taking the risk to
stand up and tell it like it is
NOT what others want it to be for  all people not select groups
The Truth is that those stuck in the past with their heads in the  sand
Must wakeup and either get with the future
Or find a way for old school and new school thinking to balance
Moving forward
That is the truth

C@rainbowchaser2022

If this applies to you then bravo
You are not a member of the piranha pool
Corruptive liars stuck in yesterday
How they function today is a question for sages?
Religion and politics aside
What was simply was
What is simply is
How about common sense?
How about being a human being and not a monster?
How about listening and not commenting?
They cry out on social media just not worth reading
Insult to injury
We all bleed red blood
We all cry tears
We have all lost and been in pain
We have dealt with so much and some just have to learn to deal
It is not easy
Not slight of hand
You get real and appreciate what you have
Beautiful heart
Beautiful heart
Doing the very best we can
Expecting nothing in return but to be there and extend a hand
Not wondering what is in it for me or you

C@rainbowchaser2021

There was a time when it was over
Took all the courage and time to make things right
They were wrong and wrong never tells the full story
We all make mistakes but that is what makes us human
The heartbreak and tears go with the flow and territory
Liking it is one thing
Dealing with it is another
It is a process and you can be over and out just as quickly again
You hurt yourself more than you hurt others
Truth be told the window is so much clearer now than it used to be
More vistas and living to do

C@rainbowchaser2021

Half of my life was spent with you
Thought there was so much more to do
Truth is that it isn’t there
Perhaps it can’t be seen
Maybe I no longer see it
Caring about you will always be there
Too many other soldiers in this Army
Your essence is somewhat gone
Your star doesn’t shine like it used to do
Perhaps it is time to say Goodbye
Make room for the others
Time to go

C@rainbowchaser2018

Embrace and enjoy today
Yesterday is part of
your memories
Not every wrong has its remedy
Sometimes you just cant fathom things or people
Is it worth the effort?
You cant always let go,give in,or forgive
Easier said than done
The choices are yours of course but by never saying never
What was and what might yet be
The door to your life remains ajar
for the success or failure of the future

c@rainbowchaser2019

Watched you play your games
Did not know you were a player
Guess it was far from my grasp and mind
When you hugged me hello and it was longer than it should
have been.
You said are you curious?
Bolted and cried because we were platonic friends like a brother and sister
I listened to you
When others felt you wasted their precious time
The gold band on my left hand says more than you should have summized
When you realized that certain things should never be said
you ran to find me
My husband drove me home and kissed the tears away
He said a line got crossed so reel it in and stand your ground
You stepped on my heart but now you are married so you understand
Hope you do and you are happy

C@rainbowchaser2021

You inspired
Never required
Had your desired loves and duties
What was ****** upon you, job well done
You were an amazing woman and always will be
The mold is broken but what you left behind finds itself in gratitude and admiration
There is no better example of the very best there is and your likes will probably will never be seen again
Visiting the United Kingdom several times there was an honor and privilege because there was you


C@rainbowchaser2022

Let joy in and help those that cant find it
Give your time or if you can ,share
Open your heart and let those negative thoughts leave and hopefully return less frequently
Remember that family and friends are the best gifts in the world because they cant be gift wrapped and hopefully never returned
be humble and grateful because you have more than you know
Those people you let go of have their own to deal with
They are no longer the drama they caused
No matter what you celebrate may I wish you warmth,joy, peace and most important please take they time to communicate with people
Social media and Technology need a vacation

C@rainbowchaser2019

Two more struck down too young
Fighting for their lives
We say hang on
Hang tough
You are not alone in this battle
UP close and personal
This horrible enemy who has taken others from all of us
Rears its head on the faces of the family that confronts the issues when they leave the hospital
Etched in pain and a hurt that we may know but everybody deals differently
You watch and wonder and all you can do is listen and be there when they want you to do so
Not the patient but the families
The two I write for and those that love you being turned Inside out
as they wait

C@rainbowchaser2021

You judged someone without talking with them
The disregard was rude and cruel
The disrespect unjustified
Your excuse of being too busy no longer works
You just dont want to make time
You judged someone based on bias and one side of a story
You are loved and wished the very best in life
For now Time for Goodbyes
The door is open but suggest you wait to be invited before you walk in

when you have reached the point of no return
despite the many times you"ve been burned
Somehow the pieces fall together and make sense
no more false starts,doubts,or pretense
no matter what happens and you think all has perished
hold on,hang on,stand up tall with your head held high because you are cherished
you remind me of that fact every moment of the year
you are loved,adored,and cherished
my dear

c@Rainbowchaser2018

Wouldn't his father,Mario be proud.
Wouldn't his late former father in-law Bobby Kennedy
Your daughters are proud
Your sisters and brother are as well
Your State is extremely happy to follow your lead
Restoring and reimagining the best for all of us
Andy is our Governor and a true leader
This is not a political comment
It is the truth
Andy Cuomo, please run for President in 2024
We need you now and more than ever before
A proud New Yorker!

C@rainbowchaser2020

Vincent how I wish I had sat in the garden
With a Starry Night, Cypresses, and Orchids.
That was long ago
So many creative artists of every genre are as beautiful and genuine as you
In the Poet's Garden, we see things as you do
Or as we wish them to be

c@rainbowchaser2023

Your sibling is drop dead stunning
The boys and girls flock to her
You are the brainy plain Jane
You hear the snickers and laughter as it breaks your heart
Your spirit is kicked out of you
You keep trying but inside you are dying
Somebody saw something you never saw or let yourself see
Even through the bullying if the past never disappears completely
You can’t take a compliment said so sweetly with adoring eyes
Even now it still is Beauty and the beast
The difference is he saw what the others could never see

C@rainbowchaser2021

Can't fix the situation you are in
Putting a band-aid on won't help either
Cliches and best words won't be enough
They tell you that you have to deal but that is another four-letter word
Situations work themselves out but while others bubble up again
You have to take the very best care of yourself and that is easier said than done
Grief has no timetable
People can listen and be there for you but somethings are better left unsaid and you will find what works best for you
Time and reflection are your best allies
It gets better but the wounds never completely heal
Just remember that live and evil are also four-letter words
The former is what you must do and the latter is hopefully not within you
You can't give up on yourself
The Best Intentions

C@rainbowchaser 2023

You said what you felt
Never taking into account the pain you caused
Hurting me is par for the course
Hurting someone else is intolerable
So the door is open
The phone won't ring
Text messages and Facebook will stop
Say what you will but you have no edit button
Frankly, my life matters not only yours \
Always about you
It is all about you as usual
So we are On Hold
Time is said to heal most wounds
Not sure this time

He is the Love of my Life
My best friend and life partner
We have been through inside out and upside down together
How you grew to hate him is beyond me.
Your toxic nature and narcissistic tendencies might explain it
What you do for one child you do for another
Taking sides and favoritism doesn't work and should never happen
Guess you never really knew that you broke my heart
Every wedding anniversary that I celebrate it comes back at me again
I have forgiven you but will never forget
C@rainbowchaser2023

Going inside my mind
Research and reexamine?
I do walk outside for my head
Not to hide but to take things in without the commentary of others
It has become noise
Not the media because I get them
It is others that sound like scratched echoes on an endless loop
Either accept people's way of life or move on
Hermetically sealing your mouth isn't a bad idea either
Better to say nothing than to offend or wound deeper
My sojourn will be accompanied by what and and who I love
No conditions
No enabling
Where did I put my cell phone so I can mute that deafening ring?

C@rainbowchaser2020

They have danced and accompanied me
Sometimes pervasive and others progressive
Happily positive
Balancing the very best of old school and new school thinking
From my head to your heart



C@rainbowchaser2019

It will be 43 years since the day we met soon
The Love of my life and my best friend
But even now
His touch still sends shivers and electrifies me
No matter the circumstance or the weather
His blue eyes and His Touch
My Baby

C@Rainbowchaser2022

Ebony petite Ducks,Egrets,Seagulls,and Swans
Happily swimming and
eating
Flying into the blue
Still wishing I could join you
Jumping and enjoying the breeze
You've got to be carefully taught is an old song
With older lyrics and thoughts
You’ve got to be taught to listen,read, and see
Think carefully and use common sense
Be aware and true to yourself
Hopefully adults and children will contiue learning

School is not the only place to learn
Everywhere and every opportunity to be taught better

It was what it was
Is what it is
Revisit but let it go and don’t live in the past
History is a teacher that we must learn from
Now and tomorrow need to be explored and enjoyed
We must agree to disagree and enjoy every moment
We can’t return or exchange how we live
Live it up while you can
No matter how you interpret that
While you are here
With great joy
With great kindness

C@rainbowchaser2024

Effort and work pay off
Not when you expect or want it
If you can make it look easy than bully for you
You are more talented than most or figured out just how and want to do effortlessly
The office said Goodbye and Good lock to a Blonde Adonis running for the elevator
They welcomed a quiet young man all a glow for his first job
He could write and the other just looked good on camera
Easier than it seems

C@rainbowchaser2021

What you see is a dream
It isn’t there
It is not real
Even though you want it to be
You can’t make somebody change when a message has been branded into their heads by people who love them conditionally
Children imprint messages and sometimes yesterday never goes away
Despite your best efforts
She can’t see the world through your eyes
She tried
Cracked mirror

C@rainbowchaser2021

You were a secret
Not supposed to be found
Yet,you have been
Names and feelings
Herstories and Histories
The DNA is one thing but the stories and memories
Lost to me and my family
Speaking of which ,you are also my family
It is coming true
It is real
What was never before now is about to come before me
Those who link us passed long ago
Painfully we can’t ask questions
Perhaps,you have the answers so we never break again
We bond,it is real
Remembering those we lost and loved

C@rainbowchaser2020

Billy Crystal penned it correctly for his Broadway show
You are my Wonderful pain in my A
Nobody could love you anymore than I do
Wouldn't want it or have it any other way

You can't avoid the pain in their eyes
Maybe a faded smile
Look a little longer and dig a little deeper
Sometimes the older photos have stories that we are first beginning to know and understand
There is a cost
Maybe even a gift we have yet to accept
Care about connections
You might reconnect and yet maybe not but know about them
Find out who you are and family matters
Found them yet still searching so the story continues
