You Gave Me a Rainbow

You gave me a rainbow today
as I walked to our special place

This is where we walked together
when we wanted some quiet space

Where we could see for miles 
and feel the cool morning air
and watch the gifted sunrise
behind the mountain 
greeting us there

Where we felt free
no more pain or sickness within

We could fly up high with the birds
our wings far reaching the cloud’s pink 
and feel the sun’s warmth on our cheeks
as we floated upon the rainbow’s drink

Now my feet stay rooted to the earth’s ground
and your bright light is up above
But we will meet again I promise 
in our daily acts of love

Together in rainbow’s light we will always be.
-Alexis Cress

Nature and all her beauty give us the gifts of healing, of present moment pause, and she often reminds us of those who have touched our lives. Because of the memories we’ve shared in nature or because our loved one’s presence is felt in the ocean’s breeze, or in the starry moonlight, or when the rain kisses the sun and a rainbow is born. May your day be filled with moments of nature’s beauty today.

Blessings,

Alexis
