Let Us Praise Rainbows

'I feel as though I'm being crushed

Between the weighty covers of a book,

Struggling to keep the pages turning.'

 

Now, that's a unusual thought.

Weird, but interesting.

Maybe 'The Story Of My Life'.

Which really doesn't bode well.

Hmmm. Let me consider this.

 

I think an important factor in Life

Is the quality of 'interesting'.

If something tweaks your mind to form a thought

It involves your whole self – brain, body and feelings!

Who knows what 'person' actually is!

 

When we humans confront what we don't yet know

We bare our teeth in puppy aggression

Or self-deprecating hilarity.

Better some feckless growling or jolly madness

Than debilitating Fear

Which could annihilate us faster

Than Earth, Air, Fire or Water.

Fellow humans are a different issue altogether.

 

Basically, we tend to know what we don't know.

Up to a POINT - that keeps moving!

Endless MATHEMATICS!

Part of Creation or Human Thought?

Splendid conundrum, argued among scholars.

What if a Black Hole is Pure Maths!

Sort of – maybe – Mind!

 

Knowledge can be scary.

I say: Let us praise RAINBOWS!

And ripe, ruby raspberries!

For whatever reason behoves you.

I'm dancing with this rainbow
Called ROY and G and BIV
It's wearing all me body out
Me legs are gonna give

These rainbows are a pushy sort
No reason for my rhyme
Just wanna play around with it
And have a real good time

Yep. Rainbows make ya feel good

I have no explanation, reason or intent with this. It just wanted to 'dance', and I let it.
