I once saw a rainbow pour over a mountain cap like

hot chocolate over an ice cream mound.

I watched as it lazily wrap and flow its colors of 

orange, grape and banana, silently down its rocky sides.

I watched with hungry eyes as it dripped and encircled into itself, creating in one movement, a brand new palate.

I reached out with eyes closed and as sure as I'm breathing, 

That rainbow covered stone sat perched within the center of my palm.

And there, for that split second,

I alone held the worlds color in my hand.
