Rainbows

Rainbows are made of droplets of water Refracting and reflecting the sun's light. Anything more depends on the spotter, In how one perceives this natural sight. They arc through the waves of every shoreline, And bend with the mist of a waterfall. Some call them bridges to kingdoms divine, But rainbows are not supernatural. How does one see such a fanciful sight, In colorful crescents crossing the sky? Why so much wonder in refracted light? What is this whimsy effecting the eye? Answers are found in the inspiration. Rainbows are made of imagination.
