Spectrum

by Alison McKenzie

It's not about you,
Or even me.

If everything seemed perfect,
Not a hair out of place,
I would still grieve,
And rail -
Fists and tears.

It's about the seen and unseen
Spectrum of every rainbow -
And the promise of every after.

In your words there's a mixture of sadness and happiness, but I'm not sure which one comes out on top. Rainbows are so beautiful and temporary. We have to catch them when they appear.

Fragility of time and place even in that feeling of perfection-- good cause to "grieve and rail-fists and tears" A very strong feeling here for the essence of life and the ungraspable and ephemeral nature of it!
