reflections on a rainbow

relections on a rainbow are always in my head and what I can imagine best are colored strands of thread the hand of God with perfect care threads the needle and takes a share    of heaven then stitches slowly  green hapuu to purple orchids wet with dew    and morning he sews the orange to a tree a stitch of blue and that's the sea    and sky he sews the sun with yellow thread and warms the lava with the red then just before  God ends his sewing he hems the sunset with violet glowing the day is done the rainbow's gone but all the colors still live on so that's what I imagine best God's colored strands of thread reflections on a rainbow are always in my head
