Rainbow

rainbow |ˈrānˌbō|nounan arch of colors formed in the sky in certain circumstances, caused by the refraction and dispersion of the sun's light by rain or other water droplets in the atmosphere.

   it is strange how a rainbow can completely transform an off the highway town into a wishful place. i always find myself holding my wishes close and choosing carefully (as if playing cards) which wish to lay down. today my wish came easy. it was waiting to be released. had i realized it sooner, i would not have waited for a rainbow to make it. we do not need mythical symbols to caste our wishes, we just need the awareness of what we hope for, and the belief that there is possibility in the puddles and colors that come from a storm. wishes are no different than prayers, and i believe God listens. wish away.
