ever wonder what it would it be like to
walk inside a rainbow!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The earth is soaked from falling
rain, where shrouded ebony skies prevail.
Intently watching, I see an opening in
the clouds, allowing the sun's brilliant
rays to ebb through. The effervescence
of the ground's heavy dew has begun to
shimmer as it lifts into a prism of
iridescent splendor. I am in awe, as
it is only an arm's length away. Slowly,
I step towards the radiating colors and
begin to immerse myself into a kaleidoscope
of dazzling hues. It is as though I am
swirling in perpetual motion within a
vortex of crystallizing colors.
Saturated in red, it generates an intensity
of warmth, that quickly turns into a glowing
orange with a mellow feel about it. A quarter
turn reveals radiant yellow that seems to
be as bright as the gleaming sun, shining
upon my face, where I am unable to open my
eyes. Still squinting I detect a cooler
ambiance as green bathes me completely,
propelling me into a blue bastion of ethereal
beauty and I slowly rotate once again into
a deep indigo, that brings with it a peaceful
calm. Seeming as though it has been forever,
I come to a violet presence that envelopes
me into a centrifugal force that catapults me
headlong into what is perceived as heaven.
Colors are in motion all about, with stardust
and small crystalline bursts.
Finally,
Coming to a stop,
I am at the apex of the arch.
Looking down, there is a faceted
stairway of spectacularly luminous color.
There is no pot of gold at the end
,..... but a place where
you can take a magnificent
journey to find,
~The crystal rainbow.~
