I am reminded of a kaleidoscope
The rainbow, a spectrum of colors
Dancing off reflecting light
The calm after the storm

The arch of splendor
Red, orange, yellow, green
Blue, indigo and violet
In descending order

I’ve often wondered
What lies below the red
Or beyond the violet
Between the infra and the ultra

We see only what we’re allowed
A crescent in the sky
A prism within our eyes
An optical illusion
