The Rainbow
You need to know, so you may better understand,
why the rainbow's so important, to me.
It represents God's promise, but there is more.
It displays an array of emotions,
and there's a color for each one.
Every feeling that's sewn onto the fabric of our existence,
is portrayed with the clarity of fine crystal...
..and the density of the most beautiful marble.
There is every note that resounds on the scale of life,
and every harmony in between.
The legend surrounding the end of the rainbow is also important.
It teaches us to never cease seeking,
so as to never cease finding.
The rainbow also demonstrates an arch, in shape.
Displaying that the journey up, is as equal in it's splendor as the way down...
..demonstrating both, the hills and the valleys of life.
Also evident is the rainbows ability to draw everyone's attention,
because it's something that we all wish to share, with one another.
Without voice, we can point to it's beauty...for, heat a rock, and that is red...
..taste a cool drink on a hot day, and that's light blue...smell the rain, and there is gray...
..feel the sunshine on your face, and know yellow...cry alone, and experience dark blue.
But show me a rainbow in it's entirety, and you will hear, see, smell, and taste,
the spectrum of our emotions...the varieties of humanity...and the singularity of you.
For collectively, we are in the rainbow...because inside each of us, exists a rainbow, too.

This deceptively reads almost like a factual description,
