TODAY I TOUCHED A RAINBOW
I CAUGHT IT IN MY HAND
I TRIED TO SQUEEZE IT TIGHTLY
I DIDN’T UNDERSTAND
IT WASN’T MINE TO CAPTURE
IT REALLY WASN’T FAIR
FOR ME TO GRASP A RAINBOW
AS IF I DIDN’T CARE
I LET IT GO QUITE GENTLY
TO SEE WHAT IT WOULD DO
IT FLEW ACROSS THE CLOUDS ABOVE
AWAY INTO THE BLUE
NOW I AM LEFT REFLECTING
ON COLOURS THAT I’VE SEEN
DID I REALLY CATCH A RAINBOW
OR WAS IT JUST MY DREAM
WHICH
WHICH EAR IS FOR LISTENING
WHICH NOSTRIL FOR SMELL
WHICH EYEBALL FOR LOOKING
I NEVER CAN TELL
WHICH LEG IS FOR WALKING
WHICH FINGER TO POINT
WHICH KNEE IS FOR BENDING
I DON’T SEE THE JOINT
WHICH LIP IS FOR SMILING
WHICH WRINKLE FOR FROWN
WHICH SKIN IS FOR TANNING
AND TURNING ME BROWN
WHICH HAND IS FOR PRAYING
WHICH WORDS WILL I SAY
WHILE THANKING SWEET JESUS
FOR THE JOYS OF THIS DAY
Thought to Ponder –
“Shine your soul with the same
egoless humility as the rainbow
and no matter where you go
in this world or the next,
love will find you, attend you, and bless you.”
