The Rainbow's Treasure

I looked outside the window,

just in time to see,

a beautiful rainbow

beyond the sea.

I walked out onto the beach, 

still in a trance. 

Thinking about its treasure,

I began to advance.

The rainbow began to fade,

its colours losing their glow.

I broke into a run, hoping that 

the sight would never go.

The rainbow vanished into thin air.

At the blank space in the sky, I stood staring.

I bit my lip and help back my tears,

but I couldn't bear it anymore and I started weeping.

I wept and wept,

while the sun shone upon my back,

and the rain fell all round

thinking the rainbow and its treasure would never come back.

When I finally looked up,

I was greeted with a marvellous sight.

The rainbow was back in the sky,

glowing with all its might.

I then realised, that

the rainbow's treasure

was none other than its colour

and its beauty, beyond measure.
