What lies above

I stared out my window,

And heard rain sob a gentle tune.

Tears of sadness are soft and delicate,

Like patches of grey on blue.

But I looked up again -

Did I hear a call?

To see a rainbow spread before me,

And two birds drift across the air,

Excited.

A gift from God.

*

What lies above, no man knows,

A mystery only souls can solve,

But if your heart remains pure and true

Someday, all will be revealed to you.
