This morning I noticed a lingering rainbow
in the drizzle by the mountains

I shouted to alert everyone of the rainbow’s presence
and thought that they would stop in their tracks
and look up in awe to have a moment with the rainbow

Maybe five people looked in silence
only to turn away and continue with their day

Maybe this is my calling
to hold beauty, to stand in awe and be her witness
so that she doesn’t exist unnoticed
but keeps living on in my poems
