I turned my head, looked up and there it was!
In the deep distant greyness of the sky,
A faint arc beyond the hill.
And then suddenly it became clearer, vibrant, stunning, beautiful.
Closer. So close.
And in that moment, I reached out my arms and touched a rainbow.
And no-one else took any notice. |
See need colour don't we all?
ReplyDeleteWe do. I wrote that poem one day when we were up at Chirk Car Boot. Still trying to clear up after the wind and the flood. John, how are things with you? Hope you're going on OK
ReplyDeleteRainbows are so lovely....and so hopeful.
ReplyDeleteSaw another one today as we were coming home from town - things will get better soon.
DeleteLove the rainbow and your new header photo.
ReplyDeleteHeader pic is of the engine of our ancient Vauxhall Astra. It needed a new clutch or something at the time and O/H had me take a photo of the engine to know where all the bits went back in the correct order
DeleteLove that last photo in particular! Magic
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, thank you.
DeleteIsn't it funny how some people are so focused on the clouds that they never experience the joy of the rainbow. But not you Molly, you look up and see all all the beautiful colors of life.
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures and sweet poem.
Thank you. I love rainbows - they suddenly appear from nowhere and then they go just as quickly
DeleteThe picture has a magical, dreamy look.
ReplyDeleteI love all the colours
DeleteWhen I see a really perfect rainbow, I often wonder what early man must have made of it. Maybe they just ooohed and aaahed like us.
ReplyDeletePerhaps they said, 'Get them oars ready - time to dock the Ark'.
DeleteLovely, Molly - words and picture perfectly meshed.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful post Molly!! Somewhere over the rainbow :)
ReplyDeleteI think the people in the last picture were looking for the crock of gold in the wrong place.
DeleteLove the rainbow pic - and that header pic looks fascinating is it a tractor nothing like a few nuts and bolts - luv to you both xx
ReplyDeleteHiya Jane - we were wondering how you both are. Hope you're keeping well. Header pic is the engine of the old Vauxhall Astra waiting for its final resting place. xx
DeleteOh, to hug a rainbow!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely rainbow - I hope you made a wish:-)

PS Molly, I've been having trouble leaving comments, sometime I just cannot get on your comments page at all, has anyone else experienced this also ...?
How lovely to touch a rainbow! We had one land in our backyard in Sydney NSW many years ago when the kids were small, I never thought then to go and touch it. I just stood there wishing the pot of gold had been at my end not someone else's.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the Google+ comments and shares, Molly. I've only just found it on there - I confess that I don't have a clue about how that system works, I bumble on to a page and from there i am hopelessly lost! I hope you didn't think I was ignoring you.x
