My Dream Of Iris

I dreamt I cast an overarching path Of coloured scales Thriving on the solar rays that play upon The waning of the storm – I’d thrown a filmy avenue to reconnect Empyrean with humankind! Elated, I flitted through refracted hues – Those from watery spheres that Fan the iridescent prism. And more: shimmering sprites in dance atop the spray Conveyed adieus to gods Departing for their hallowed visitation… I woke and pined anon, Begging Iris: ‘Be so kind and Take us on your wing to new endeavours – Show that nothing in the ether tempers you! And every time you render us a rainbow, See it fires a lust for zest anew! ’ Copyright © Mark R Slaughter 2010 rainbow rainbow rainbow rainbow rainbow rainbow rainbow rainbow rainbow rainbow rainbow rainbow rainbow rainbow rainbow rainbow rainbow rainbow rainbow rainbow rainbow rainbow
