Rainbow

At a moment I caught glimpse of a rainbow,

  As I opened the window and looked up toward the sky.

  An arch in soft rays of red, light yellow, tender green and watery purple.

  An arch across the sky turning vivid

  Taking a glimpse at me

  Oh, Iris, do you come and take a look at me?

  For a peaceful moment, enjoy heavenly peace and beauty, amid children's innocent laughters downstairs.

  Iris, the messenger of Sun, would you bring resplendence to my eyes, to surprise me for a moment?

  Would you enrich splendor in my mind, to cheer me up at intervals, to relieve me of all earthly frets, and inspire momentary thoughts?

  For a moment, clear of past vexations or desired intentions for the future. Enjoy the splendor of presence and feast my eyes on the colorful sight. Count the colors like an innocent child, and imprint all the colors in the picturesque mind.

  Masses of clouds, in large loose puffs, clustered or scattered all around, moist and drifting in the rainy wind. Soft crimson rays glittered from the arch, infusing in the thick clouds.

  As the rainbow started to fade slightly, more gray, moist clouds drifted in anther patch of sky. In the remote sky, white clouds curled in soft turrets.

  I would always see the rainbow, in eternity in my mind's eye, as the girl's voice insisting on seeing the rainbow when her companions called out the rainbow faded.
