Rainbow

by Dr. Madhavi Godavarthy

Hope appears
Like a rainbow
On a gloomy sky
Offers the hues of life
Merged into each other
Inseparable and incomprehensible
An arch that can never complete itself in a circle
Disappears even before I can swing on it
Like an incomplete painting...a half heard song
It vanishes leaving behind the emptiness of space.

Celestial phenomena have always been a poets bread.
This time its about 'HOPE'.
Celestial phenomena are a symbol to human moods

Set-I = { 'OPTIMISM','ECSTASY', 'JOY', 'SUCCESS', 'ACHIEVEMENT',etc.,... }

Set-II = {'EMPTINESS', 'PESSIMISM','SORROW', 'TRAGEDY', 'FAILURE',etc.,...}

All the above moods are the outcome of "HUMAN 'INTER'-ACTIONS" just like the celestial phenomena...one has to understand and analyze the contribution of each of the actions involved and then the mood outcome can automatically be fixed to Set-I.
Then life will always be a ride on top of the rainbow....

God gives a lead, we need to complete it. True, the rainbow is not a circle, we need to take the brush to complete it. A new born, as one sees first, is like a rainbow, but the spring does come later. Madhavi, life is like that. Poem is good, but do not be disappointed at any time. Love.
