The rainbow at night

The rainbow at night

Have you seen amidst flicker
Of a candle that melts bright
The  clouds that hold their drops
Often create rainbow at night.
The hope glows upon despair
The melting life nourishes smile
The wait for a thunder in skies
Hanging day-long for a quiet while.
While the flicker of candle is radiant
The covering sky is a murky  tar
The cloud preserves the drops
And longs for peace of dark hour.
The showers on the dazzling flame
That appears dim in the sunlight
Return unseen back to clouds
And weave a rainbow at night.
