did you see that rainbow
after a heavy rain
its arch inverted into a smile
filled with colors perched in the sky
did you see those ocean waves
beginning to cascade near the beach
they're silvery blue, clear and
warm, soft as an ivory
but did you notice those bright
and colorful flowers of the wild
that coats and hugs the prairies
and the meadows of an early spring front
these are the colors of music
testament for the eyes
the subtle rainbow of magic as they pass
and pamper the heart and the senses
now here, heard and made to last
as a note in memory
as a remembrance of the past
captured in cameras
logged in the brain, kept in the heart
folded neatly and stored forever in our minds...
