At The Glimpse Of A Rainbow

On a patch of soiled Earth As I stood feeling rather glum With eyes poised on the horizon far I saw an assemblage of colors Arching across the moist sky It had drizzled half an hour before And here and there were tiny droplets On the serrated edges of rain washed leaves Quivering and trembling And precariously balancing Lest they would fall and break In that pastel evening shine How they sparkled like diamonds on a crown! My eyes feasted on the delicious mix of shades As the celestial bow stood a crescent overhead All things living and lifeless Have joyfully shared its hues and shade And the Earth turned into an exquisite canvas of art Giving very many eyes a splendid treat
