Tiny Rainbows

You were the only one

I fancied you all I had left

We knew it was true and instinctively left

one another to mend our own holes in our chests

in a dream we were pieces of ships

we were attached from our feet to our hips

and forgetting that icebergs were only the tips

as we crashed I could read the relief on your lips

but most dreams were better

and we all were one

and everyone just became part of the sun

and then shot back out in a gajillion rays

all our ancestors and children and the futures they made

would just shine down and light up the day

and our lives blended better than our bodies ever could

in the days when we were made out of flesh or wood

yeah we weren't the same color though we knew that we could be

we were ourselves but blended at the edges like it should be

and now separated your color now shines on my sleeve

with my parents, favorite teacher, first ever pen pal and me

and the more that we share I guess the more that we grow

and we all became tiny rainbows
