Rainbow

Rainbow

I breathe in the smell of rain,

Finding myself

Once again

In the same place

I have always been.

The rainbow hovers,

Never getting anywhere,

Never needing to.

Rain condenses itself

Into brief vessels,

Through which rays of light refract,

Becoming colour.

They are billions,

Billions;

There is one.

In the distance,

The river flows but never moves.

In the sky,

The clouds have no body.

So I was born,

Not as body or as mind

But as rain,

Rain that I will be

again.
