when rainbows crash
onto untold dreams
and made-up fantasies
I realized
that there was a beauty
in going my way
and doing what I wanted
for once
even if it meant
never wanting you back
shooting stars
and shining moons
went past their debt
and swallowed my fears
while turning them
into hope
there was a beauty
in being me;
a testament
to my soul
which had tethered
under your misery
Author notes
`Beauty in Walking Away by Maria Digby
There's an answer in the sound of a train
There is wisdom past the bridge on the bay
There's a lifetime through the fog, in the rain
There's a beauty in walking away

oooh. nicely written aparna. loved this a lot
this lyrics meant a lot to me. actually, i wanted to have a quickie on this song alone, but i was afraid of a small response. so i racked up a couple of more ideas and it turns out the picture was more popular. but you don't want to hear me blab on this (: onto the poem:
i think you penned a beautiful story behind the lyrics. i loved the first stanza. it was magical (:
but maybe you could change "unto" to "onto". just a suggestion. i felt "unto untold" sounded weird together. and there's a spelling error in line 12: "shining" was spelt as "shinig".
ok. i'm talking too much. overall, i felt this poem had great imagery and emotion
best of luck
