~The Crystal Rainbow~

(music for background)
****************free verse*****************
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.~

    Phenomenally Graphic & Impactual!
    Wow this is just crammed solid with fabulous well chosen and used poetic graphics and descriptives. Love the page design too, its very clever.
    Lovely subject matter, and so beautiful a scene you have so cleverly painted here.
    Love the lines that go:

    "The effervescence
    of the ground's heavy dew has begun to
    shimmer as it lifts into a prism of
    iridescent splendor"

    "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".

    "I come to a violet presence that envelopes
    me into a centrifugal force that catapults me
    headlong into what is perceived as heaven"

    To quote just a few that are simply stunning and mind blowingly brilliant ways to paint the fabulous picture you have so eloquently painted here.

    Wow awesome, breathtaking... fantastic beyond words!
    Love it, excellently well done! Bravo! Poet Laureate standard for sure and well worth at least Gold, how about platinum!
    Poetic Hugs,
    Kaz.
