a soothing crescent, a band of color,
brought gently down to the lush,
and greenest field, nestling naturally
beside the majestic white palace,
of a plump, pompous, hearty king.
serene yet vibrant colors,
of the finest parisian artist's palette;
gravitate toward a rural scene at peace,
aside stormless, bright blue skies,
and a thousand maroon ducks splishing on the tranquil lake;
as merry guests arrive in a golden carriage,
drawn by hazel coloured stallions, atopped with crimson feathers,
the refined swedish visitors, relax, calmly soaking up the rural scene,
the reds, violets, blues and yellows leave their hearts at peace,
and this perfect haven of gravity's rainbow is complete.
