As the bus rolled to a stop,
I saw out of the front glass
And I saw an stole
A stole stretched
Around the shoulders
Of grey clouds
A rainbow
Spread across a canvas of grey
Bright and soft colours
Pink and Mauve
Yellow and blue
Red and violet
Starting from one cloud
And reaching out to another
A backdrop
To caves of steel and glass
The bright greens
The lit and unlit hills
All paling in comparison
To this sweep of colours
I traced each colour
with my finger, from
one end to the other
Feeling the color on my skin
Today, I bathed
In sunlight and in rain
And in colour
Today, I saw a rainbow
I didn't search today
It came to me

I too saw a rainbow yesterday when I was in a bus. Not quite surprising if we take into consideration that we work in the same place! :-P
It was quite strange to see people jumping on top of each other to have a glimpse of the rainbow... Everyone likes to see a miracle! :)
