The place at the end of the rainbow

All my life, I longed to find my home

Searching for somewhere I’ll be welcome

My restless soul always seeking acceptance

But nowhere could I find that sacred place

One day, I stood on the shore

Watching the sun set the ocean on fire

As it rose in the sky majestically

My heart leaped suddenly

For I saw a beautiful rainbow

That was my sign, I could see

I had finally found my abode

On the other side of the sea

I ran after the departing ship,

But I was too late, it left without me.

Its white sail swallowed by the haze

As I stood in a daze.

But I refused to drown in sorrow,

I was going to reach the end of the rainbow.

I built a raft and embarked on my journey

But the sky exploded with thunder

And the raging waves cast me on an island

As I cried and fell on the cold, wet sand

Shivering and broken , I was again lonely and empty

And I watched the stars sparkle as sleep overtook me

I woke from the deep slumber

The sun warm as I stood on the shore

I saw the rainbow shine once more

On the other side of the sea

And I understood finally

That the answers are already inside of me

Storms will come and go

But there will always appear a rainbow

And I felt immense love and tranquility

For home is not a place, but a place I carry

Forever within me
