A Rainbow by Theresa Ann Moore

 Summer rains relieve the thirst of the earth.
Reviving wilting plants and inspiring birth.
Sparing the ecosystem from many fatalities.
The air is cleansed of impure abnormalities.

Our attention is captured when we realize
A huge rainbow has formed to mesmerize.
We observe a spectacular spectrum of awe
Curving to create an arch without a flaw.

With absolute perfection, it truly amazes.
As the hour passes, it fades from our gazes.
It was a delight to view the fantastic display.
With a bit of sadness, I wished it could stay.

I can never resist a rainbow photo. Looks like you and your camera had great good luck all the way through Yellowstone.
