Celebrating Rainbows

After a healthy downpour of rain, Side by side, always the same Today or tomorrow, a simple bow The signal of hope, sunshine must follow A destined bond, family tied Silhouette of unity, predesigned A joyous echo, long established norm Classical collision, ensured, conformed If each color grew tired of the next Would independence leave us perplexed Lava lamp like, these morphing beams The stuff that’s only seen in dreams Nature’s fireworks, marvel at the sights Curse the sun’s interference despite the churning clouds that bring the scent of awaited drops that must descent Which would you then celebrate more Winter, long nights and stars galore and rainy days, bountiful displays or summer beaches and butterfly ways The future may one day demonstrate Impacts of change from the current state For now, uplifting, shoulder to shoulder Beauty, simplified, in the eye of the beholder
