The Fragile Rainbow.

               

            The Fragile Rainbow.

The thick black clouds threatened a downpour.

The rocking thunder stood by the dark clouds.

The wild winds wore a foul look, blowing

As if to settle scores with the clouds,

For a previous,pointless enmity.

People were eagerly awaiting,

The fall of sure, summer torrents.

The weather reports had confirmed it too.

But the wind- shattered, dissipated dark clouds,

Ran rattled,as if shifting to safer hideouts,

Getting weakened, at every phase of their transit.

In between ,there appeared, the evening Sun,

Amidst showers, light and warm, all clicking

To display, the emergence of a ritzy rainbow.

The rainbow alliance of colors in the sky,

That lasted for a short while, like the dark clouds,

Made a fair show,only to beautifully betray,

The defeat of a concrete,collective mission,

Buried, beneath the colors of a fragile union.
