Rainbow

Red and yellow and pink and green, purple and orange and blue... la la la..

I think that's how I sang the rainbow song during kindergarten.

雨停了，雨停了，彩虹高高挂...

Then, during primary school days we sang 彩虹歌. If I'm not mistaken, can't really remember too.

High school days, we don't sing anymore rainbow song, but memorize the order of colors in the rainbow. So we used, "Michael Jackson kena halau balik India Utara", which stands for merah, jingga, kuning, hijau, biru, indigo, ungu.

The other day, my student played a song called 'Rainbow' from Alfred piano level 2. The suggested method to remember rainbow colors is "Roy G. Biv", as if a person's name, which actually stands for "red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet".

Of course, there are many songs that's related to rainbow. To name a few, "Over the rainbow" (my favourite!), Rainbow connection, I can sing a rainbow, The spectrum song, etc.."

Suddenly I felt that rainbow always has a close connection to me.

It has been raining for the past few weeks here, hardly see the bright warm sun. Weather is so unpredictable in Malaysia. I love raining. I love the scent of rain, the symphony of raindrops, the feeling of rain gently hitting my skin. However, only once is a blue moon that we have the chance to see rainbow.

Wikipedia: Rainbows are optical illusions and meteorological phenomena that cause a spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the Sun shines onto droplets of moisture in the Earth's atmosphere. They take the form of a multicoloured arc, with red on the outer part of the arch and violet on the inner section of the arch.

When I reach home after a heavy downpour a few days ago, I saw rainbow faintly in the distant sky. Quickly I grabbed by camera and start snapping. Rainbow always makes me believe there's 幸福.

Last two nights, I had a dream about rainbow too. I remember I am very very close the the rainbow, almost touching it, and the colors are shinning brightly. But something has cut across the rainbow (like mist or cloud), so the rainbow doesn't looks curvy but a part has disappeared. It was a very weird dream, but I know I felt happy.
Em, can anyone interpret my dream?

Rainbow Tears by A.J. McKinley

Through rainbow tears I see love's true colors
Shining bright amongst them above all others...
Red, Green, Yellow, violet and blue...
All these beautiful colors I now see in you.

Love is my pot of gold,
Forever within my grasp
All I need are open eyes
And a map to complete this task.

And the storm will come of this we know
And darkness soon calls the show
Around me a rainbow of tears have spent.
My pot of gold to you have went.

And miracle is the day I found
My rainbow tears scattered upon the ground
My heart forever now is glad
Leaving room for light to replace the sad.

And to the dearest most sacred spot
My rainbow tears your hand has caught.
In this bond we shall forever rest.
Two souls combined for the rainbow test.
