In the Moment
In the Moment
There was a happening
in the sky last evening
just before sunset
pregnant Cumulous clouds
streaky Cirrus clouds
and even the ones that
look like flying saucers
all there in a thousand
shades of gray with bright
sun beginning to fall
beneath the continental divide
the space between the clouds and
the Rocky Mountains shone
brilliant blue tinged with
golden light at the point
where the sky and peaks
touched in a magical kiss
facing toward the foothills
it was a critical mass moment
set up for a rainbow to
appear on the great plains
behind me and paint the
heavens with color and awe
eyes looked to the eastern
sky with hopeful anticipation
there it was… a double rainbow
each end touching the earth
in perfect arcs
so bright and beautiful that
tears formed in the eyes of
those standing around with
heads tilted upward
smiles opened on each face
as vibrantly alive colors
shone against the gray palette
of clouds and the full spectrum
electric Crayola brilliance made
for a sacred moment of silence
as the earth stood still…
