Any Rainbow's Chromatic Flight






Any Rainbow’s Chromatic Flight


We watch from within a cafe on a rainy day.
The earlier warm air had spread across a balmy world. 
Now clouds with cold rain gather above,
sunlight goes,
and while what is falling is beautifully hypnotic,
we do not wish to endure
a moldy canvas of land
from too much rain,
or seasickness
from a swelling of the seas,
and the clouds heard our plea
to bathe in the sun.

So Solomon and Aladdin
rode that may colored carpet
across the skies,
and just as the fading water vapor
made it disappear,
that once viewed rainbow produced happiness,
below, 
on a less sodden earth.

  1. what joy can be found in refracting light, such is the grandeur of nature we ignore and set fire the artificial abodes some call home.
