Notes About The Poem

The seven chakras from root chakra to crown chacra symbolize the vital energy on our paths for

foundation to spiritual completeness. They reflect in the colours of the rainbow from red to indigo.

I wrote the poem for the contest 'Fire Cloud Phenonemon', which is a rainbow swirled in the clouds.

It derives from ice halos reflecting in cyrrus clouds and is only seen at certain times and places, 

when the sun stands at an angle of more than 58 degrees. Beautiful, like life and the chakras.

Embracing the Sky

Embracing the Sky

Ice crystals float in the sky mix and mingle with the luminous cloud
                        envelope illusions dance with enshrouded mystery glowing and proud
Celestial spheres know no limit as the gigantic prisms condense and reflect
                      light the seven-coloured path for human megalomania to be disavowed

There are angles and degrees heights certain times when fire-rainbows flow
          just like in our lives colours enlighten perspectives from which beauty can grow
Fluffy cyruss condensation navigates with ice halos around horizontal arcs 
           presents us what matters to contemplate a seeming ascent on vertical plateau

The full spectrum of tinges and tones resembles the chakras’ body soul mind
     our vital energy in the search for spiritual completeness the Universe has designed
From feeling grounded in red wave length to being fully connected in indigo crown
    the miracle before and above us contains a simple straight message for humankind

Awareness of awesome spectacles out of reach from devious attempts of control
      guides us to pause halt appraise and engage in what the planet considers our role
To cherish nature and beauty compassion spread kindness earths’ spirit and love
        and to be content with ice halos and fire clouds to make peace our ultimate goal

Beautiful, Kai, and the message as well. I think another name for that fire rainbow is a circumhorizontal arc. Not sure if I've ever seen one. I have been grateful, many times, for the presence of those ice crystals, though, worshipping the 22 degree halo around the sun or moon, and the brighter reflections that may form around that circle, 'sun dogs' or 'moon dogs.'
