Rainbow Magic

it's still a wonderful world

Plink, plunk, plop
plink , plunk, plop

Tiny streams trickle
		down
			down
				down
					the panes

Summer’s mist cloaks
Dark skies give way

The operator flips the switch
a beam of light projects across the trees 

“Our show is about to begin! There’s magic in the air.” 

Quiet orchestral music weaves 
Four heels stomp toward the door
Bare feet hit the grass

Plink, plunk, plop
plink, plunk, plop

Droplets sprinkle the walk

Eyes follow the spotlight to the sky
A perfect arch
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet 
Another faintly rests above 

The glow, like firelight
It’s peaceful all around us
We stand beneath its beauty, embracing 
Love, wonder, and magic fill our hearts.
