Yesterday, sitting atop a rainbow gazing upon the beauty of the world,

I heard your cry, but it was dwarfed by the howling winds.

You tears offered perfect camouflage in the downpour of the heavens.

“Where are you?” I cried.

Only the banshee wind echoed in response.

I missed you, as my eyes traveled the earth.

I spread my wings and took to the cool spring winds in search of you.

Your beauty blended with the field of endless colors in which you sat.

I searched the world over for you.

I missed you, time and again.

Your sadness made me scream inside.

Your raging heartbeat but a whisper in the pounding rains.

I thought I’d lose my mind if I couldn’t quell your sadness.

Then I calmed myself and closed my eyes and listened with my heart…

And found you within my soul.
