MOUNTAIN RAINBOWS

Colors glowing through

The rain

At the end of a summer day;

Jeweled tints of every hue,

That take my breath away.

Arching in the heavens

Far above the dampened sod.

Sunshine through the

Raindrops;

Perfect handiwork of God.

Forests dripping in the mist,

Meadows fresh and green,

Wildflowers with fragrance

Kissed,

Bring pleasure to the scene.

Sparkling lakes and crystal

Streams

Reflect the evening sky.

Bold crimson of the sunset

That bids the day good-bye.

How can my memory capture

The wonder of it all...

Majestic bits of splendor

That make me feel so small.

I'll just relax, enjoy it. 

Be thankful I can see,

And treasure mountain

Rainbows,

Etched in my memory.
