[Original Poetry] Runaway Rhymes: The Promise

Rainbow light

This is my entry for @hopehuggs Runaway Rhymes competition.

The Promise

Ambient rays, I see them so clear
Pixelated dreams that I hold so dear
Could be recursive, I've thought this before
But those were the days before the last war

Reinstated longings that've been packed away
I promised them that I would return one day
And it's fitting that it's now that I make this return
Its only now that I believe I will learn

Like aging in tandem with a season long gone
A season that whispered its farewell song
But a new day has grown from yesterday's seeds
Out from the cracks that lay in between

Sensing completion my eyes do perceive
Let go of my wants and let go of my needs
The dark clouds of past longing are starting to shift
And the bitterness too that caused this long rift

A promise has echoed with the soul's travellings
And the bell that was struck continues to ring
A rainbow is shining like angels above
Hope is renewed through the vessels of love
