do you look at me through
rose colored glasses
waiting for the
clouds to part in
a display of sunshine
or do you wait cautiously
for the dust to settle
as i pick up the pieces
that fall without
ceremony to your feet
knowing that life cannot
be only black & white
for it is only after
storms the rainbows appear
& love is the tie that binds
