A Rainbow

Yesterday as I drove home, it started to rain. Soon, it was raining and the sun was shining at the same time. So I started looking for the rainbow that I knew must be up there somewhere. As I was just crossing the river, there it was. It was the perfect rainbow too. It was a complete arch. One end appeared to land right in the middle of the river.

It was there for my entire trip home. I kept looking at my fellow drivers as they would pass by. I wondered if they even noticed. Most appeared to give it no attention. They were just staring straight ahead or talking on their cell phones. I thought that was kind of sad. A rainbow is kind of like fireworks, you only get a few chances to see them a year. I wonder why people can't take some time out of their busy lives and just enjoy it?

Just as I was getting home, it started to fade away. First the violet, indigo, and blue disappeared. Then the other colors soon followed. Finally there was just a red streak that went across the sky. Then it was gone. It was nice while it lasted.
