The Rainbow

i am the rainbow
in your orbit
mending
your broken dreams

i am the grain of sand on the beaches of time
the solitary soul in motion
whistling with
the gentle wind that moves me

i am the eye
of a thousand stars. The stars
that quiver as
the waking bird sings

i am the son of Light foretold
in the endless universe
of diversity
raking the fallen leaves with gusto

i am the heart that beats for you
in the moist hour (such glorious moment)
sharing the gift of grace over
the crescent moon

i am the illustrious son of Dawn
waltzing with metaphor
witnessing the
maiden flight of the autumn leaf
