“The rainbow

How does it appear in

The dark?”

We stared at the shimmering

Thing

Mesmerized

“Don’t question it

Instead, glorify it

Reach out and feel it.”

And I did

I reached out, hesitantly

Afraid that I would shatter the sight

But no,

My hand was met with mist

Cool air danced on my fingertips

“A wonderful thing

Is it not?

Now look up.”

I did and gasped

Up close, it seemed as if the light was

Twirling, clasping their hands together as they twisted and tumbled

The colors swirled:

Red

Orange

Yellow

Green

Blue

Indigo

Violet

They somehow lit up the void of sky

“How fascinating!

How fascinating this is!

This glorious thing is up in the ebony sky!”

“How fascinating it is, indeed.

Now close your eyes

And feel the breeze.”

I did as so

And rested that day

Feeling the colors beneath, above, _inside_ me

How fascinating this wonderful thing is

Indeed

A rainbow such as it, lighting the night sky
