Forever Climbing the Rainbow
Forever climbing the rainbow —
A modern-day quest for a grail —
Determined and breathless I climb,
Struggling to no avail.
Forever climbing the rainbow
Blood-red roses pierce the heart.
Oh the heart is pierced merrily,
At least at the start.
Forever climbing the rainbow,
A spray of orange juice from a bite.
Feel the firm round fruits
Fragrant all through the night.
Forever climbing the rainbow
Bright the sun doth shine
On you and your unknowable s
Upon me and mine.
Forever climbing the rainbow,
Green as the aurora borealis,
The queen turned green with envy.
And the poet turned back from his chalice.
Forever climbing the rainbow —
Mist and blossoms bluer than sky,
Beauty so poignant it seems sad
and tears well up in one's eye.
Forever climbing the rainbow,
Violet as a majestic goodbye
Hands slide to fingertips.
And a short affair goes by.
— Jennifer Knox
