Rainbows shine through a spray
of drops, prismatic view
of multi-coloured hue
emerges from the grey.
What seem impressions true
tomorrow melt away.
As daily spiders play
their silken nets anew
through diamond stranded dew
light shines in every way –
so all is echo, clue
interpreting the Way.
Life offers [th]us each day
diversity where you
can rediscover new
its beauty on your way
to Paradise, - display
of nuances, each true.
So as we travel through
time’s complex interplay
perhaps impressions stay,
perhaps they melt into
a background bright and blue,
perhaps... but who can say ?
How can links one mind drew
then be restated ? Clay
may be remodelled, hay
cut neatly so a few
stems twins appear, but who
may reproduce mind ray
unique of each soul’s s[t]ay?

First of all, this is a very unique background and is awesome with your picture. I loved your words too, the imagery is great. Thanks for posting in my contest.

Okay, now this background I like...much less busy!
What a wonderfully written piece, with so much depth. It was "eye opening", no pun intended! Time is one of those elements that truly intrigues me when placed in a wonderful piece of writing...so many areas to explore. Bravo!

Time, ever fluid marches on and what is here right now is gone in a split second just as raindrops dissipate and the rainbow disappears. It seems we never really know what will happen in life but we should make the most of opportunities presented to us, which is perhaps something I should remember as I make my way to paradise. Each person’s road is unique and I don’t think it can or should be reproduced. It is, after all, what makes the world go round. Beautiful rhythm and rhyme, as always

I like how the brackets show a second word underneath, opening another level of meaning. And I quite enjoy this journey of musings, something I do myself so often.
What I think I like best though, is how at first I was inclined to discount this poem, when I skimmed and saw the rhyme scheme, which I felt was rather obvious and basic. And then, I read it once quietly, next aloud and it made me really think and I didn't even notice the rhyme, other than to say - oh how it flows, so smooth and fluid. Kudos, kudos.
