Rainbow After Rainbow

Rainbow After Rainbow After Rainbow

Reveal the colors of light

Transforming all things from darkness into light—

For in darkness things are nebulous, mysterious and undefined.

But in the light the hues vibrate and dance.

Clouds—grey, purple, yellow against the blue patches of sky,

are like a painting by Constible.

Shafts of light part the clouds, falling on the earth

like blessings.

Like waves against the sky,

the mountains are layered,

one over another.

Reaching down from their heavenly lofts,

clouds in their softness caress the hills

and they are locked in an embrace.

While rainbow after rainbow after rainbow

Unveil all the components of light.
