Rainbow Sighting

Like magic, it appeared above -
A rainbow in the sky,
Though there are those who could explain
The reasons how and why.

I much prefer believing
It's a little trick of fate
Which, after all the rain has gone,
Is cause to celebrate.

It hung there, vibrant, rich and bright,
With partial double twin.
We couldn't look away and others 
Shared our joyful grin.

Yet most were just oblivious,
Their eyes not primed to greet
Such glory painted 'cross the clouds, 
A rare (from Nature) treat.

A rainbow (especially a double or even a triple) is so uplifting. Noah must have felt the same way when coming out of the ark and seeing a rainbow. I know I would have been after 40 days cooped up in that box! / M

The rainbow, sunrise and sunset and more...so sad when people take them for granted. A lovely rhyme!
