We are all so excited when on a blustery rainy day
We see a rainbow off in the distance
With its luminous spectrum colours glowing
Suspended magically for a little peep at its existence
Unsurprisingly our fondness for it ever growing
Of its splendour laid out across our atmosphere
Curved in the graceful crescent moon shaped arch
Staring upon it incites your childish heart to leap and smile
Pondering wonderously at its creation in a moisture laden sky
Yet were you ever aware or ever even told
When upon the marvel of what you are gazing (seeing)
That each and everyone of us
Never sees it in the exact same way to behold
This is down to science and physics
The fascinating law of refraction and interaction
Each droplet sends you a separate colour
Which modifies on reaching your eyes
Gelling each one into a magnificent artful bow
Which visits us brilliantly but briefly
Then disappears like a genie into the sky's friendly foe
The Subject of fairy tales, songs
Movies and children's TV shows
The legendary undiscovered symbolic
Pot of gold at the tip of its toes
Some believe the reward
Would be the elixir of life
Tasting like honeyed nectered wine
Each sweet sip bringing forth a taste of paradise
Is its perceived gift a divine bestowed sign
Stories of its existence we have conjectured
Through the aeons of time..so we question could even the
The yarns In which it is heralded... they cannot be still true
Yet we love its place among the characters
Bourne out in the myths and tales with a backdrop of sky blue
Of riveting guiding stories old and new
Played out by those who are now spirits of bygone eras
In which storyingtelling was the foundation and knowledge
To their people's who looked to their elders for guidance
To which still modern day listeners still have
Their curious ears feverently glued
We continue with this hope of enlightenment
To the Norwegians and Navaho
It was seen as the bridge between heaven and earth
In Buddism the symbol of peace from long ago
Now so well deserved and aptly consigned
An emblem of our NHS's vocational work's flow
Now embedded in our hearts
As well as inclusivity of diversity
For all to connect and share
Long overdue to rethink and re-dress
So when quickly the rainbow dissipates
Then sadly suddenly for a short while disappears
We do not worry knowing we will see it again
As it perpetuates in nature everlasting phase
So we bid goodbye until the next
Wet and windy day
When the clouds part revealing the bright sun's rays
The again we will see the Rainbow's cheerful wave
I for one see it all as the symbol
Of a harmonious giving peaceful world
A rainbowland of equality without thwarting prejudice
Against all the species of the world and mankind
Finally to rid our collective conscientiousness
Which has keep us in metephorically
In irons gripping clad
Impeding our progression to rejuvenate and revitilise
Our ailing hearts and the planet
Ridding all hinderences to reach the pinnicle
State of existence in which
We are happily thriving over just surviving
Nirvana here on earth so to speak
Where everyone wherever or whoever they are
Would be enabled to have the opportunity
To reach their physical and mental states
In order for their life to be bountiful
Reach its mountain's peak
So lets gather and collectively build a paradise
For all to add and contribute to
The Rainbow's rhetorical pot of shiny gold
Now a possibility the dream could come true
Where we will live without ignorance
A changed new planet for all to peacefully reside
Both physically and in our hearts
Reviving souls and leaving our tortured stress filled minds behind
