Conquering Rainbows

With the sun shining on my right side And the clouds pouring rain on my left It seemed to me, I didn’t have too far to go To reach the most brilliant rainbow I had ever seen yet I ran as fast as my little feet could take me Before the spectacle could up and disappear My whole life, I wanted to scale rainbows I may as well do it right now and here When I reached the beginning I was almost blinded The red and orange were hot to my touch But when I grabbed a hold of the yellow and green They didn’t hurt so much I placed one foot on the blue; the other on the indigo I used the violet underneath me, to point out which way to go The slope started off steep; it took everything I had to climb As up and up and up I went, losing all track of time At the top of the rainbow I could see forever The earth beneath me and the heavens above I had never felt this feeling before I’m pretty sure that they call it “love” I just sat there in peaceful silence With the colors wrapped around my limbs If happiness was a deep blue ocean I had just jumped in it for a swim The time had come for me to descend As the sun was starting to set I slid down the rainbow like a playground slide On a ride I will never forget When I reached the end of the rainbow I found disappointed people looking for gold But fortunes aren’t found at the end of the rainbow It’s in the journey – or so I am told
