Any Rainbow's Chromatic Flight

We watch from within a cafe on a rainy day.

The earlier warm air had spread across a balmy world. 

Now clouds with cold rain gather above,

sunlight goes,

and while what is falling is beautifully hypnotic,

we do not wish to endure

a moldy canvas of land

from too much rain,

or seasickness

from a swelling of the seas,

and the clouds heard our plea

to bathe in the sun.

So Solomon and Aladdin

rode that may colored carpet

across the skies,

and just as the fading water vapor

made it disappear,

that once viewed rainbow produced happiness,

below, 

on a less sodden earth.
