Rainbows

In the platter of rain and drops

Appeared on the skies the brightest hues

Whilst the sun and clouds played their

Brazen game of hide and seek

And swathe the fading dusk streak.

Rainbows in its mystery each time

Chose to thieve the heart

Even the birds chirped and sang

Pondering to scatter this medley

That smeared the heavens’ art.

Halt to wonder the radiance

Which is creeping slowly

In the mix of playful luminosity

Admire its beauty, soak the brilliance

Till it lasts one more time.

Though the tint of seven shades

Darken as it’s endured yet

Gusty blow of wind burst upon

To cease this charming concert

Of merriment and glee soaring on.

The colors slowly dissolve and dispel

It need not stay

For it has made the mark in heart

To carry the reverie

Forever to recollect.

One will move and catch with next

Fleeting is in nature though

For it will cover up for me and you

So aim to make your mark to stay

Like the rainbow while we fade slowly away.
