Rainbow


The rain pours,

The thunder rolls,

The temper of nature is once again unleashed.

***

The sky turns gray,

The angels take shelter,

All is not settled in this earthly place.

***

The skies stop weeping

Life is resumed,

the world has been cleansed.

***

In the quite distance,

you finally appear,

An arrangement of light

An assortment of colour

***

Filling my heart,

with a secret song,

Lifting my spirit to a distant dwelling.

***

My mind tells me your imaginary,

A dream like image

beautiful and unreal,

***

My soul fights for your existence,

For real is not what the eyes can grasp,

But what the heart can glimpse.

***

Your existence in my heart is established,

You evoke feeling that are real and true

***

You, my rainbow, quite simply,

Are an unexpected twist of fate.
