Awash with Rainbows

Yes,
I am proud.

A rainbow is diverse,
blistering reds fading eventually
into sun bright yellows,
luscious greens,
chilling blues,
warm indigos.

And I am proud.

For as a rainbow is beautiful,
so am I.
So is this thing I am making.

For even if it's different,
my version of this beautiful thing,
it's still
love.

And why be ashamed of that?

Author notes

Okay, I see rainbow I think gay... I like the result though.

    I was over 35 before I understood the significance of the being gay symbolism. You know, I find the need to label ourselves a certain whatever kind of cuts you off from the openmindedness-or willingness to examine otherwise. Not everyone though is as openminded as me-and I understand the need to associate with the rainbow theme.
    Blah, sorry. . .went off on a tangent.
    Okay, thank you for taking the time to enter, and I hope to see you around again soon.
    Love,
