The Rainbow Poem by Mike Shanahan

After the storm comes sunshine..
Then the Rainbow..
Dressed in its finest colours
To amaze my mind
To make me smile
To lift my soul.

The path is clear
Is certain to the end
To ride upon the yellow or the blue?
I sift the colours through my mind
To dissolve the beauty into a single drop
And gently place that droplet on your brow
Opening up your world to sunshine
And dissipate the terror of the storm
Forever from your soul
I hold your heart in the palm of my hand
Then clench my fist
And never let it go
