A rainbow only exists
as a play of light on suspended water.
Although a thing of great beauty,
it can never be reached
- always moving away as we approach.
It is the same with our desires.
Although exalted by the beauty
of our inspiration and desire,
it is important to see them as they are
- ideals not reality
They continually urge us to follow
and may deter us from our goal
for like the horizon
they are imaginary, tricks of light
which subtly change as we pursue them
