A Rainbow, To Play

Picture a rainbow… 
spread out cross the sky
(captured on popsicle sticks 
flying by).


Gather a handful…
together they’ll store
laughter (highest to lowest):
spread them out ‘cross the floor.


And there, you’ll have captured
(from hither to yon’)
the music of moonlight—
the sound of the dawn.


Then hear you a sunset
(so tender, so mild)…
or see you a giggle
(the paints going wild!)…


And words 
become boring;
so clumsy to say…
once you’ve:


captured a rainbow
for some special someone

to play,


and play


and….


play.
