Rainbow

 Now you see me,

The birds have flown

And I can see the blue dome

Up above the clouds so high

Like a rainbow in the sky

And crows are flying to the boughs

To find shelter from rain sloughs

And all the fresh fish of cuttle shore

Are raining now on my front door

I asked you once I asked you twice

If this was our earthly paradise

But you said boy

Why must you be coy

Perfection is a reflection

Of inner joy

But imperfection

Is the sign of inner peace

So try to accept what has been given

And let your suffering cease

And the rainbow comes out 

Shoots under the weather cock

Like a scarf around the neck

Of St Thomas' Church steeple

All the bold bally insects

Go buzzing in the sun

And the men and women are free again

And the birds start to chirrup again

As they know the rain clouds

Are on the run
