Rainbow
Believer sees a gift from God
The atheist, refraction
But both agree it's beautiful
And brings them satisfaction
Muslims, Jews and Catholics
All follow different leaders
But all can see the beauty of
The irises, the cedars
No matter what our differences
Of color, creed or race
The same breeze cools a sweaty brow
The same sun warms a face
As birdsong in the morning,
The cricket's chirp at night
Can bring woman and man alike
A sense of great delight
The rainbow should remind you that
We share our place of birth
A ribbon to tie a priceless gift:
Our precious planet, Earth.

Post a CommentI'm happy to read this a second time. Beautiful :)
Yes I agree with Allene. It is beautiful and deserves some pee vee action!
Almost a year later & I was still deeply touched. Ali, this deserves more attention! I could almost imagine it as the lyrics to a song they'd sing at Unity. Beautiful concepts. And the picture is still awesome to me!
Very hopeful beautiful :) Sheri
I love the rainbow ribbon tying up the precious gift -- beautiful.
So beautiful...
This is excellent.
This poem is bringing me to tears, Bat. The simple concept is so true, so overlooked, and you've brought it to life so touchingly. Something abt the lines, "the same breeze cools a sweaty brow, the same sun warms a face" just reached inside so deeply, it almost hurts. Thank-you for sharing this sense of connection. BTW, the picture grabbed me so instantaneously, I just enlarged it on that other page so I could get lost in it awhile, before I even read your lovely poem.
WOW! Just chalk up another amazing talent for you! This is wonderful, and the message is powerful. Let's see, so far we've counted (1) amazing artist (2) comedic genius (3) descriptive writer (4) gifted poet (5)..............
She's a poet, too? Who knew? Could not agree with your sentiments more and as Saul pointed out, your meter was spot on.
