One With the Rainbow

Waist deep in an icy clear blue mountain lake Under the watchful gaze of the Grand Tetons majestic grandeur Snow peaked summits reaching clouds where they join the rising sun A more beautiful place I could never have imagined, even in my dreams Casting sunflower yellow line patiently over and over As the icy blue drops of water race back down the line so gracefully As though they can't wait to return to the secrets below The rhythmic snapping of the rod echoing in the still quiet morning My fly floats by the place among the crevasses of rocks where rainbows hide Beneath the icy clean blue water Here we are you and I, sharing this place, eye to eye Watching you dart from side to side, every color of the rainbow Reflecting, bending, gliding A rainbow in motion, here right beside me, all around me You jump as though proudly displaying your beauty As I gently hold your rainbow magic in my hand, thanking you for a perfect day I leave you to return to that hidden place where rainbows stay ©Donna Jones
