What if the sky were multicoloured?

October 7, 2013

Mile End, Montréal, Métro Laurier

Guess what?

I saw a miracle

an outright real spectacle!

It rained all day

and on my way

from work today

I saw a friggin  miracle!

Redundant as that is

bear with me please.

An hour before sunset

of course we couldn’t set

eyes on that much

with clouds hiding the sun,

it rained and rained

and suddenly

appeared …

A…..

Rainbow in all its arc-like glory

and then believe it or not, sorry,

but it was just so darn spectacular

a second rainbow set beside

in blissful harmony

for minutes really not too long

for moments later amongst the throng

of onlookers near me

they vanished suddenly

but oh, so blissfully

I relish that memory

and won’t forget that sight

as I recall all this tonight.

P.S. the skies were still more pink

than other colours, so what d’ya think?
