Rainbow

Kaleidoscopes of colour Drip as ribbons from the sky Though rain is barely over Still the ground begins to dry The angry clouds depart now Leaving sunshine in their wake Birds leave their sheltered hollows As their homeward flights they take She rides the troubled skies on ribboned wings To offer up the hope of brighter things She leaves like she was never there at all A whisper in a moment magical Soft breeze begins to bristle Stirring droplets from their nests Forced to tumble into puddles Where they wither as they rest The sunshine beats relentless Drawing moisture through the air And silently the rainbow fades Was it ever really there She rides the troubled skies on ribboned wings To offer up the hope of brighter things She leaves like she was never there at all A whisper in a moment magical Rainbow, smiling up high Rainbow….. Rainbow, lighting the sky Rainbow….. She rides the troubled skies on ribboned wings To offer up the hope of brighter things She leaves like she was never there at all A whisper in a moment magical Jane Shields©
