A Heavenly Canvas

On one of my more motivational days and during one of my creative moods, I composed this poem, which describes the beauty of a vibrant splash of colour, a rainbow, which is the very heart and soul of Nature.

A HEAVENLY CANVAS

I heard raindrops pattering

Was listening to their rhythmic thuds

But when I looked up

Sunshine was filtering through the curtains

And beyond my window was a splash of colour

These arcs of merriment are comprised

Of many iridescent tints

Each a different colour; each a shade darker

Violets, indigos, oranges and yellows

For their beautiful blossoms

Green for the tufts of grass

Blue for the fathomless sky

And red for the berries

That adorn our hollies

These shades represent the unity

Present even in nature

So why don’t we humans too

Unite, join hands

And make the world we once believed in

Shine again in glory and grace

I feel as if colour strewn skies

Are God’s way of expressing his love

Through these soft and subtle; but vibrant hues

To remind us that there are rewards after every hardship

Depicted through rainbows after rain

I don’t know if it is true

Whether there is a pot of gold at the end of each rainbow

But when I gaze up at these colours

Of joy and happiness

I feel as if I’m the wealthiest person on Earth
