the warm evening sun
journey's semi high
as beyond some trees
a gentle shower encloses
a rainbow
the sign of the ancient
covenant between God
and his chosen people
imprinted in mental soil
a multi coloured reality
which initiates the recall
of childhood memories
the lore of leprechauns
with their pots of gold
from loving parents
whose people knew
'Jack Frost' the 'Headless
Horseman' and the mischief
of the 'Wee Folk'
slowly the rainbow
disappears after stirring
the imagination of one
whose roots lie in peasant stock
