RAINBOW RAIN

Raindrops dribble across dusty windows 
muting daylight, lazily sliding, meeting, melding, 
creating a new, single drop.

Although merged, size is not appreciably increased
as parts of mass are left behind, forming a road to nowhere.

A dreary occurrence?   

Rain gives us pause to appreciate sunlight, 
bringing cleansing to small and vast areas.  

Disorder is diluted 
as rain replenishes stores of nutrients 
to growing matter.

When daily bruising dulls spirits, 
a rainbow delights us, 
catching, supporting, and reflecting flashes 
of returning sunlight.

We’re reminded of the fixed order 
that does not change 
as we see light broken into prisms 
of dancing colors
