The Bow in the Sunny Sky – v5

We were blessed, by a singular moment

at least for most of us, looking up

after our time on the beach, at the picnic.

A slice of color, cut into the screen,

the piece of the dome,

a segment of a bow.

Vertical in the summer sky,

stripes of color against the blue

growing for but a few moments.

Iridescent, shimmering in the sunny sky.

Growing, posing, long enough,

for us all, to marvel.
