When I see a rainbow in the sky it amazes me
How it bedecks the blue yonder with its prismatic hues
It takes birth amidst golden sunshine and the rain
This is after all God’s favorite muse
It seems like an endless trail of colours in the azure
And it begins from the horizon and ends in a pot of gold
An epitome of beauty matchless and unparalleled
Arched to perfection like in stories we have been often told
It seems a mere illusion across the outstretched skies
We assume it is eternal and will never fade away
We weave million of unrealistic dreams around it
And are left heartbroken when for long it does not stay
It’s ephemeral and teaches us to let go
And in our eyes behold the beauty as long as it lasts
Treasure those inimitable moments in our fading memory
Surreal and enigmatic with an innate beauty it enchants
A hope for survival though lingers in our restive hearts
It teaches us to hold on to our undying faith
It shall surpass all the creations of the Gods above
As it awaits the rare mating of sun and rain
Beautiful music it creates like an ace musician
In our dreams they haunt as they distantly echo
When I need some luminance in my lusterless life
I steal a few vibrant colours from this arched bow
