Usually they are... maybe because we can see the reflection of something divine in their eyes.

I'd make this the 3rd in a series of #10's - you've some style, all are about this same length in which you excell - plus you can add "they" shine after Rain and sometime during Rain! New beginning's the thing!

Rainbows are very close to my heart..and your poem captures the spirit of these wonderful prisms in the sky. Friends are indeed like Rainbows when they surprise you with their understanding and empathy.. when the days are grey, and sometimes when the days are just perfect!...Lovely Poem! Diana.
