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.
