Rainbows In The Forest

I see rainbows in the forest
In my sleeping dreams
Glittering like jeweled arches
So many of them here and there

But I am especially intrigued
By the row of rainbow arches
Lined up like a path over there
Under the canopy of trees

They seem so bedazzling in their color
That I’m anxious to capture their images
But as I try to find a good angle
It was over…a fleeting image of beauty

Now I wonder
What mysteries I might have seen
Had I been able to draw closer
And walked through those arches

Might it have been a path
To some fascinating place
Even more beautiful
And full of dreams?
