DEAD RAINBOWS

A dead rainbow
lies like a puddle on the road
of course it might just be oil
that's leaked from a car
but I think its a dead rainbow

Where do rainbows go I wonder
when they disappear from sight
do they fall to the earth
like a deflated balloon
till stars brighten up the night?

I saw a rainbow lying dead
it covered many hills
It was a thing of beauty
rarely to be seen
a sight your heart to fill

Rainbows are beautiful
and give the sky a glow
they make your heart lift
but so does one that's dead
and lying down below
