The rainbow that sweeps across my sky
Piercing the swirls of luminous grey cloud
The coloured arc that shines radiantly
Through the droplets of falling rain
The calm that seeps in after the tempest
Spreading a sense of peace and serenity
That’s because of you my haven and my harbour
My place of safety from life’s storms

When the flames of my anger
Grow hot and burn fiery red
Your cool breath on my heart
Steadies the raging beat

Juicy oranges you bring me
Fresh and sweetly tasting
Loaded with vitamin C
To help keep me healthy

Warm and softly golden yellow
You are my daily dose of sunshine
Protecting me from the cold
Ensuring I am wrapped in love

My green green grass of home
My place of ease and comfort
It’s no greener on the other side
So I’ll stay here on this side with you

When I feel like singing the blues
Because life has lost its harmony
You are always there for me
Soothing me with your touch

Indigo not blue not violet
But a shade that’s inbetween
Some days I live in the inbetween
Waiting for you in my dreams

Amethyst stones in tones of purple
Bunches of fragrant violets
Gifts for a February birthday
Given and received with love

The rainbow that fades across my sky
Dispelling the swirls of luminous grey cloud
The coloured arc that vanishes
Along with the droplets of autumn rain
No longer do I reap the tempest
For in my head and heart there is peace  
Because I found you my haven and my harbour
My place of safety from life’s storms
