The rain fell in great big drops
pitter-patter, pitter-patter
for days on end, no respite,
the days dark and gloomy,
wet and grey..
A yearning for the golden sun,
warm and yellow and glowing,
a yearning for the colours that
adorn nature in all its splendour,
a wish to fill the world with colour;
A wish heard... for the sun peeped
through the dark clouds,
through the soft rain
and the rainbow was born!!
It touched
the drooping flowers,
the huddling birds,
the dragonflies and butterflies,
the falling colours
swirling and blending
filling everything in its path.
And the world shone
colourful and bright and sparkling
in the soft sunlight,
in the falling rain.
