Where Have the All Rainbows Gone?

The rainbows have disappeared,
Chased away by the death of desert.

Their absent colors,
Leave the clouds gray,
And my mood dark.

The falling rain is portentous,
Without the love of rainbows.

Where have all the rainbows gone?

Oh,
Promise and mystery,
Too often have I asked you,
"Where have all the rainbows gone?"

But you never answer,
And your silence haunts me.

You are mute,
Closed,
And veiling.
