Rainbow Poem by John Powers

Why I do not follow
you may never know
but it's only cetain
where my path will go
I will follow a reflection
i will follow a ghost
for it seems it is those things
about you I love most
You will dream of a perfect day,
and waste it in every way,
and you will be unsatisfied
all the rainbow's colors
blackened to mold
I could shield you from anything
but not from yourself
for it is the unknown
which makes things beautiful
and now I know
who you are.
