Rainbow of Possibilities

Rainbow of Possibilities

Waking light
fills my rose dusk mind
with golden thoughts.
I see familiar tree tops
change to forest towers
and open sky
becomes a wash
of powder blue possibilities.
Prinked by prompts
and bold “must does”
I begin my day.

I flip on TV
for company
and see
a starburst
stained glass window
beaming down
a rainbow welcome
upon
a simple casket,
wrapped in
red, white and blue,
remembering
a life
and mourning
a loss
of a president.

His sage legacy
is a reminder
to live
with love and respect.
Today I strike
a candle to join
your "thousand points
of light".
George Herbert Walker Bush,
Thank you for your brilliant service.
