Rainbows

Airy prisms fly and leap
enthusiastic arches sweep
in a jubilant celebration 
nature’s centerpiece from heaven. 

Living composition breathes 
created with aplomb and ease
painting from Creator’s hand
perfectly placed at His command. 

Jacob’s coat in neon flies
o’er the land a banner to rise
angels spread their velvet wings
spinning ribbons as they sing. 

Wedding dance on earth alights
under firmament’s festive lights
seen below or from the stars
watching wondrously from afar.
