Eohemera

                                                Ephemera

	                         In an island berthed on the sea
	                   Where the sun shines all round seasons
                                 And rain does linger as a plea, 
                              Rainbows arch the sky quite often
                                 And present relish to the eye
                                 In the firmament not so high.

                              With red, orange and yellow hues
                           Lined side by side with green and blue,
                                    Indigo fringed with violet
                                    All reflecting in rivulets,
                              Diffuse matchless joy to the heart,
                                 A beauty that does stand apart.

                               How I would wish to grab colours 
                              Of the rainbow just with my palm!
                                But deep in my mind I ponder 
                               That its evasive, flitting charms
                                   Are but delusive chimera
                                  That vanish like ephemera.
