DRAWING RAINBOWS

“The true harvest of my life is intangible - a little star dust caught, a portion of the rainbow I have clutched” -Thoreau


As seen from my little one-bedroom balcony last week.
I saw the storm clouds roll in
over the sunny day.
Even though it was still hot and in the hundreds,
hail began flying fast from the sky.
It was quite the scene of sunny hail showers
in the mid-summers day.
And afterwards,
colors so pleasing to my eye...
of red, orange, yellow
green, indgo and violet.

SIGNED: THAT'S TX WEATHER FOR YA
ENJOYING, THIS SONG...
THESE LYRICS:
Yellow -Charlotte Kendrick

We all can get caught up in our half empty cups
In all the little things that seem to go wrong
Your dog pees on the oriental, you can’t rent your rental
And it’s been three months since you wrote a song

Soon it’s all about you, all the errands to do
All your flaws you wish that you could improve
Like the way you wear makeup, the mood you’re in when you wake up
How when you’re nervous, you never keep your cool

Take a minute, take an easy step back
Look at all that you have and the time that you lack
It’s not a race or a contest, but if you’re still keeping score
You will always have less, they will always have more

Your eyes are all red, you’ve got the blues in your head
You look around but can’t find your halo
So you stay up too late watching TV you hate
And fall asleep on the couch wrapped in yellow

Take a minute, take an easy step back
There’s no secret password, no code to crack
It’s not a race or a contest, but if you’re still keeping score
You will always have less, they will always have more
