Beyond the Rainbow

Rain drizzled softly beneath the rainbow.
With colours that shone so bright
Birds flew high above the arc
A mild zephyr blew so lightly.

How could I not admire the rainbow?
Shimmering silvery on clouds low.
From red, to yellow and onto violet
All colors twinkling in a magnificent tableau.

Silence spread, a hush, bright hues
Dreams spiced through watery drips
As colorful fairies flew hither and thither,
Till they disappeared in total eclipse.

Hello Victor, it's like you caught the rainbow in that moment before it dissolves, colors trembling, birds stitching the air, the whole scene holding its breath. I like how the fairies slip in like a secret only the rain knows. The end is lovelty! Blessings, Daniel

I am delighted that you had some rain and saw a rainbow. They are so beautiful and always remind me of the Bible passage how God set the rainbow in the sky to remind us that he would never flood the whole earth again. Thank you for writing this one. Sara K
