I saw a rainbow falling with the rain

Anchored upside down to a cloud

It laughed and stretched out like a happy smile

And never touched the ground but only teased,

“if you could only climb up here with me.”

I hope that I can dangle like the bow

From the cloud that anchors me upside down

And shine in seven colors in the sky

A prism in the virga of my life

So someone else can see me smiling there

And know that rain is fleeting and will pass

Then they might find themselves shining too

Anchored to their cloud somewhere else.
