Rainbow

Silently it appears
without a sound;
Deep in the sky
a rainbow is found.

Each color is celebrated
so strong and true;
Purple, red, orange,
yellow, green and blue.

Not a single sound
this miracle makes;
But with one look
your breath it takes.

Stretching over
so far and wide;
With color and beauty
from side to side.

Drink it all in
like a sweet flowing song;
Before it's too late
it will soon be gone.
