TO TOUCH A RAINBOW & OTHER POEMS

By Nancy E. Campos

 

TO TOUCH A RAINBOW

How beautiful the innocence of someone so small

As he reaches To Touch A Rainbow on the wall

How he captivates my soul with his felicity 

Happiness in its most organic simplicity  

I am lost in his laughter as he screams with glee

As he looks at me and asks “do you see, Mimi?”

I’m filled with love as I get lost in his eyes

They melt me when they light up like two tiny stars 

These are moments I will forever hold in my heart

When he’s grown the story of the rainbow I will impart 

As the crystal casts its rainbows from the sun's rays

With zeal in his voice, I heard him use the phrase

“I want To Touch A Rainbow”

It all became so clear how was I to know 

Here he was teaching me a lesson I could see

Happiness is within me it’s all in the way I perceive

He is teaching me to live free and without fear 

I am getting this message loud and clear 

The beauty in the rainbow as he sees it for the first time  

It’s how I want to live this life of mine 

Life, the lessons its taught, my journey is mine to embrace  

The love, the joy, and even the pain I accept all with grace 

For in the eyes of a 2-year-old I could behold 

That my destiny, my story has yet to unfold

 I see that my journey is incomplete and this is so 

For when I am done, I will go home To Touch A Rainbow

                                                                                  

BEAUTIFUL DREAMER

As I watch the moonlight dance on your face 

My heart is filled with love, you take my breath away 

The rhythm of your chest as you breathe the evening air 

I love the way the light softly touches your hair 

I'm mesmerized by your beauty in the evening glow  

 I feel you, I honor you as my tears begin to flow

 

You are the one, your essence completes me 

It was spoken, it was written, it was our destiny

 

 Our souls agreed to stand the test of time 

I would be yours and you would be mine

 

The lessons we knew we had to learn

Together we’d master when we returned 

Here you are as beautiful as I remember

When I first laid eyes on you that blissful day in September

As I looked into your eyes I was finally home 

The universe brought us together. I’d found my soul 

                                                                                  

LOST INNOCENCE 

To all those whose innocence was taken,

Who’s dreams were stolen, whose lives were shaken.

For those of us who trusted and believed, 

Who now have to learn of that pain to be free. 

We must not hate; we mustn’t carry their shame, 

It was not us; the innocent are not to blame,

You are perfect; this you have to know,

Brave and beautiful your energy, your soul is aglow. 

Letting go of the pain may hurt today,

Rely on your strength. It will find the way. 

To always inspire always to be there, 

For those who one day may face despair. 

This burden is heavy for someone so small,

Don't let this break you. Remember always to stand tall.

Don’t give them that power to dim your light, 

To steal your smile to turn your days into night.

Be patient; it may take a while,

Time will heal time will return your smile.

                                                                                  

DESTINY 

In the waking hours, 

When all is calm,

I look out into the sky. 

I think of it all.

Things I would change;

I realize, what is done is done. 

It was all meant to be. 

The manifestation of my destiny. 

For in the agony of pain,

my soul grew.

In heartache, 

Self-love was the lesson.

In moments of fear,

I learned to trust in myself. 

In the attempts to tame anxiety, 

I knew the art of acceptance. 

In love and gratitude, 

I learned to allow life to flow. 

I am not in control.

I realize, this moment, 

I am who I am meant to be. 

With time, a change will come as I fulfill my destiny.
