Bend in the sky

The rainbow is my butterfly,

floating from star to star.

And I am a child

merry at its pursuit

but never wanting to catch it

for fear of harming its

gossamer wings and waking

from a lovely dream.

I do let the rainbow

dance in my hands and

I do let it play with the

colors of my hair

but I would never dream of

keeping one for my very own,

for I know that it would just fade

to nothingness.
