Les Arcs-en-Ciel, 1 & 2

I. After the storm,
Two rainbows: one
inside the other.
Shining clearly, shining finely,
their colours swept against the
still-dark watery sky.
I watched them. I knew that
all things would be well.

I watched them shine.
It was a promise.

II. More rainbows in the pool.
Light falling through water:
sun rippling in prisms.

If I stand still, it will all
shimmer round me, blue
crystals and rainbows.

My heart ripples also.
I stay standing still.
Moment of peace shining through water.
