**************************************************************************
01 Rainbow
Each month, every year
The rainbow of my love grows in colour
Like rain, the red, yellow and green
Descend to brighten the eye
Until the clouds in procession appear
And cover all in ashen shadow
Colours play gaily in the sky
Suddenly the heavens fall dark
Let misery’ s gloom
Darken the young soul’s sky
And let evil spirits peep from behind the clouds
The more the sorrow within my chest
The more dark the heavens grow
The more beautiful the rainbow etched in the darkened sky
Pelangi by L Walujati Hatmoharsoyo
