Rainbow

Rainbow
BY OBINNA CHILEKEZI
stars in their sockets shift
no bird’s singsong still
and distressed stone terrac winds
fanning downward and upward


after that heated noon
the rains bathe the sky
and the sky smiles
in appreciation

a rainbow
was born

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
