RAINBOW

A bent arch of colours I beheld on the sky.

Planted in one cloud and thrust into another.

Pleasant breeze calmed the mad rain,

The busy world had no time for this amazing display.

Lost in thought I bent my head low and went by

When I noticed a little girl gaze steadily,

I wondered what halted her at the middle of the road!

My eyes followed her gaze and there above I was blessed to see

The beauty which she had spotted.

Pastel shades of all the seven stood gently there

Gradually fading into the evening sky.

I walked my way keeping my gaze on the sky,

Now and then bumping into a two wheeler

But unfortunately no one followed the movements of my eyes,

I couldn’t make one other person admire the spectacle.

I shifted my glance from sky to the busy street,

Every vehicle sped by as if they were an ambulance

Carrying someone so ill...

Unfortunate indeed that the rainbow stood there

Noticed only by a few little girls.

A sober morning turned into a grey evening

When the sky cracked itself open,

To pour forth the rich bounty of water.

Heavy sheets of thin water streamed down from the skies.

Like cobweb threads hung in neat columns

The noisy cascade of rain broke through clouds to fall beneath.

Drops built one over the other,

Fell uniformly to wet the soil on earth.

The green trees seemed greener and

The soil was heavy with water.

Girls tip-toed their way

While boys jumped into slushy puddles.

A cool evening and a sober feeling.
