it's been a strange string of ugly days. i have lived them out as if in a trance, watching a version of myself in a possessed state trudging through every day unsmilingly. as i told a friend of mine in a moment of desolation, i feel so much out of touch with the world i am in and the people i share it with.
my brother reminded me of how much i loved this song the other day, when he made me listen to an acapella version that he downloaded for me. and it's been on my mind ever since.
its been a while since i last saw a rainbow brightening the sky.
its been a while since i got excited over magical things - like rainbows, the first blush that comes with falling in love, the high that comes with making new lifetime friends, the possibility that tomorrow holds. i want to believe that after this long, dark stretch of road, i will emerge to find, if not life-altering light, at the very least the comforting hug of a rainbow.
i may be lonely now, but at least i have the sky to keep me company. one of these days, it will smile back at me with a rainbow, just for me.
not a rainbow, but the sky smiling down at us

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
and what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
and rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it.
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
Who said that every wish would be heard
and answered when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it.
Look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing
and what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
All of us under its spell. We know that it's probably magic.
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that called the young sailors.
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
There's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
