beneficent moment
I saw a rainbow today
Went out of my way and behold!
Unexpected, brief and beautiful
It lit the sky, white birds flying
In its colours.
I wasn’t seeking beauty,
Merely something different from
What has become routine
I walked in a new direction
Lay my foot upon the path
less traveled
Was rewarded by
Bright beauty that seemed
Meant just for me
The only witness
As far as I could see.
Life is subjective
I cannot credit arguments
In favour of random chance,
Meaninglessness has no meaning
In my universe
