Have you ever looked into a lake, the water's surface just as calm and clear as it could possibly be, and then see a small ripple that appears on the surface, and you wonder how that can be ?
Have you ever been in a still, calm forest, not a breeze to be felt, and you notice the leaves of one lone tree that begin to ruffle, and you wonder how did that happen ?
Have you looked up into the sky and see a single cloud forming in a perfect blue sky, and wonder why is it there ?
Lately I've seen rainbows, not that uncommon in Montana.....one I saw the night before I left for Idaho.....and then another the night when I returned to Montana. Usually I see them after it rains and the sun comes out.....but neither of these came that way. They were just there.....probably from distant rains.....
The Rainbow Bridge..........
inspired by a Norse legend
By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
When their time on earth is over and done.
For here, between this world and the next,
Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.
No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,
Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.
They romp through the grass, without even a care,
Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,
Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.
For just at that instant, their eyes have met;
Together again, both person and pet.
So they run to each other, these friends from long past,
The time of their parting is over at last.
The sadness they felt while they were apart,
Has turned into joy once more in each heart.
They embrace with a love that will last forever,
And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together.
