I can’t touch the curve of a rainbow
or use its’ colors to paint
or count the rain until it stops
Don’t be silly
But my heart is a foolish thing sometimes
and it thinks: “All you have to do is try.
The first thing you must do is reach.”
I felt the tender hues of your curves
as I tossed my umbrella aside,
counting all the rain I could, without fear
With wet reflections all around us
awash in swirling, bouncing colors
we began painting from this palette
so many stories without end

Thank you L.B.!
Well penned Michael. Interestingly, today I had the thought, what makes the rainbow shape like that of an arc?
I'm sure a scientist could explain this phenomenon very succinctly for us, but this would likely suck all the poetry out of it, LOL!
Oh I don't know about that. I'm sure one of us could find a poem lurking within it. 😊
