The rainbow curves into <br />the dying rays of the sun <br />near the close of the day. <br />The gold everyone seeks <br />was spread across the sky. <br />Near the end of the sunset rainbow <br />it was a glimpse of future days <br />when we will follow the fading sun <br />to that paradise that lays beyond <br />as we become particles <br />that will never fade in time, <br />the essence of every new day, <br />even as our mortal coil fades away. <br /> <br /> <br />19 February 2009<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sunset-rainbow/
