Wish from a Rainbow's Mist
Maria DiDanieli
An arc extends across the sky's expanse
and calms the Northern summer's blust'ring dance.
It sends a greeting down of many lights –
a timely gift before the dark of night.
A home a-buzz with children's laughing din...
when sun breaks through the rain and ventures in.
The elders call my young ones to the glass,
"Come see the rainbow's hues before they pass!"
The love my children feel within this place
will last beyond the rainbow's fickle grace.
The rooms, herein, hold stories of their past –
the links to moulds from which their lives were cast.
Like them, I watch the rainbow's hazing spree
and wish, like their's, my past was known to me.
