Chasing Rainbows

Take care of your ambitions – the physical effort of chasing targets and deadlines may take its toll. Give up chasing and look for the colours of the rainbow instead.

Life teaches us how to measure our days,
And we see our own lives in so many ways.
Try not to compare with others, or chase
Those rainbows above; life is not a race.
Instead, use the colours to structure a path,
It may twist and turn, but make it one that will last.

The red of riches beyond the measure of money,
The sweetness of orange like freshly farmed honey,
The yellow of sunshine that shines in your heart,
The blue of the sky when the winters depart,
If a sign leads towards a sense of unease,
Look to indigo and find yourself within these:

Sincerity, wisdom, justice, dignity too,
Believe that all these exist within you.
