Rainbow Sonnet

Once a man stood in rainbow light While the magic considered his measure She knew at once this man was right But he left unfound his treasure. He traveled on through leagues and years While above him still her beauty shined. Each alone had pains and joys and tears, While they held the other in heart and mind. Now grown as wise as hair is gray He reached new earth where she does rest And stands again in her color spray Realizing now he's truly blessed. Together they stand in the other's hold. Together they are the treasure gold.

Notes

The backstory behind this poem is that I once dated a beautiful girl in school, but because I was graduating and going to Navy flight school (and because I was a foolish) I did not continue the relationship with her.  Years later... a few divorces and lots of children later... we found each other again and we both shared stories of wishing our first relationship had worked.  Now we are engaged and the 10 of us are looking forward to wonderful life together.
