The Rainbow’s End
I ran for hours
across fields and paths
strewn with rocks
and twigs,
intent on finding the end of the rainbow,
reaching the crest of a ridge
I was lifted on a
glorious song,
I heard the music
of peace,
I felt the presence
of God,
I saw truth
swirling
in bursts of color,
I savored the
essence of love,
I smelled the earth
as it rose
up to touch the
heavens,
where all things
joined
in a perfect moment,
a rainbow moment,
a fleeting reminder
of all things
powerful and pure.
