When rainbows cry, do lucent teardrops glide
down multi-layered carpet ramps? And do
they blend in frothing bubbles as they slide
on edges of each prism-painted hue?

Does Nature catch the tears so she can fill
her bucket with their golden solar power,
then use its warm elixir - let it spill
across the dusty feet of grateful flowers?

I'd hate to think that rainbow tears dissolve
unnoticed, into murky-puddled grey;
as though an arching symphony evolved
then every quaver slowly drained away.

While I can't say for sure a rainbow cries,
I've seen my tears reflected in their eyes.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Lary; A masterpiece of poetic beauty! So beautiful that the rainbow only weeps tears of joy!  Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Really love this, sort of reminds of the saying every cloud has it's silver lining, maybe ours tears have their rainbows too. Good perspective, very creative.. I like.. I like..really mean it!

What a lovely idea, that rainbows weep. The wording is very beautiful as is the flow.

Hi Pegasus - you warm my heart!

Ellie, that's so lovely, my dear - thank you!

Joyce - I'm so glad you liked it - rainbows are very special to me....a sign that followed sorrow...in ways that seemed beyond mere coincidence...

Thanks, Twilah - I really appreciate your comments!

To my favorite Songbird - thank you so much!

Sunshine, I'm so happy to share a thought with you...

Thanks, Betty Lou!
