The Rainbow’s Ace
A Sonnet

Observe the rainbow weft, its many hues
arranged into a perfect, lovely shape
even the colors others might excuse,
dismiss, or throw away. Now we escape.
If you are wandering in lonely lands,
or driftless seas of dark, a brilliant light
rewrites the story. So you raise your hands
and stand together! Fight the hopeful fight
of being here, existing in this skin
which others paint…
