 Rainbows in Water

In Shadows We Dream


Close your eyes and wonder
seek what's never been found
Draw pictures of tomorrow
upon the laughter of Life's clown

We search and pray for peace
yet we do things the wrong way
Never teaching our family to fish
just give them a plate each day

Where is our vision
where does pride and worth begin
Where is our compassion
when the world is really our friend
The weight of custom abound us
religion and culture is the crown
Can we not look past those things in life
enjoying the life we have found

Sit around and watch some children
they play and work so hard
Laughing and crying each moment
for the pleasure and hurt they found
The growth of each individual
upon the lessons that we find
Are not of what we gather
both vintages comes out of time

Like wind weaving through tree tops
or waves washing the shore
Its is not the destination that matters
but the journey from which it was born
For we grow with each day and moment
making choices along the way
But, when we turn our eyes away
the world might just fade away
For each hurt and injustice
wound each and every soul
The ones that says the righteous is right
are the destroyers of peace as a whole
For the rights of individuals
or of faith and cultures be sure
Are the choices that we make for freedom
and tolerance will let them endure.

W/Guy Dan Schuyler
