Pot of Gold

The ends of rainbows do exist. I know for I have seen one. 

Faintly through the clouds. Across the water, alighting on a small mass of land.

Isleboro, in The Penobscot Bay. One of many gems off the coast of Maine. 

I stopped for a moment, snapped a picture. 

I did not have time to chase after it that day, but I know where to go to find it again.

Thanks Dorothy, Martin and Devon.

Devon...it is sad because every time I visit the Maine coast I do not want to leave. I go as often as I can. Someday I hope to stay.

This is fantastic, Lisa. Of course I am always looking for the hidden things, so I became focused on "I did not have time to chase after it that day." Right there, in the heart of this beautiful scene of revelation - the world and its pressures disrupt your reverie - adding that hint of sadness to your poem.
