Colors Of Rainbow Poem by rosalinda flores martinez

You were there beside me
And we didn’t speak

I saw your cloak and the habit
You were wearing
In black origami

I looked how your hands moved
They were laid on each other
Your mouth was
Silenced in your thoughts

You didn’t tilt you head
And your neck was
Monumentally glued
So your eyes wouldn’t
Speak your heart

They only looked at me
When I clasped my hands

I knew it was you
I knew when our breaths meet

Because when you laughed
I heard it teased me
We understood each other
When we laughed

It was so beautiful

And then you built
A rainbow

I saw the true colors
Of flying cranes
Circling around you

We always looked out the window
After the drizzle to find the rainbows

I miss you so much.
