Rainbow

Rainbow.
Bent like an arch of desires,
shelter of our dreams.
Seven times daubed with colors!
Gaze at it seventy times
And ferret out
the colors of a lifetime
and dreams of an infinity.
Rainbow
has tears hidden behind
the multi-colored arch.
Sorrows of skies,
and the sweat of the heavens.
What does our world know
Of rains withheld within!
Rainbow.
Brother of rain or sister?
or love unpoured?
Hidden sorrow or vibrant dreams,
the world can never go on without
your seven colors,
and seven, seventy gazes…
Rainbow.
A mystery unsolved
Like the human mind,
With colors concealing the truth.
From a closer gaze
It tells a different story.
As you get closer,
You find it an enigma!
