Cry Yourself a Rainbow

Cry yourself a rainbow -

Where sun meets saddest pour.

Dance up a tornado,

A swirly, alarming roar.

*

Pound and jump an earthquake,

And shake for all you're worth.

Float upon a stream or cloud,

You're one with Mother Earth.

*

Go on and pout, or scream and shout

Just let your spirit fly.

Smile, sing. Try anything.

And finish with a sigh.

*

For if you hold it to yourself,

Like magma underground,

No telling when it will explode,

Nor shielding those around.

*

Now, do it over once again,

For showers reappear.

So, cry yourself a rainbow,

With a color for every tear.
