This Represents Change

A rainy afternoon of television
But soon the change
will come
The wings of a jet 
   will bring me 
to a new locale
    Clouds will be my home
for several hours
Do you think that rainbows are something
to toy with?
A change is coming 
  Come, drink from the river with me. 
Our eyes meet 
   A couple of thousand milles away - I won't forget you
