A light in the distance

March 13, 2022 By Ellen

There was a rainbow across the valley. Today.

It started with a colourful blister under the cloud next to the barn.

And it grew up, up into the violet grey.

A natural pride flag unfurling upward from the pot of gold,

And other metaphors.

Elsewhere, across valleys in other countries illumination comes from enemy incendiary and doesn’t need a figure of speech,

Or other literary folderol.

You know,

Sometimes silver linings are not as reliable as you’d hope.
