In a deluge of rain, I often get washed away
Flowing along the waters
To unknown destinations of its own predilection
Rubbing and bruising my skin against the boulders
Wounding my confidence
Paralyzing my thoughts
Decapitating my demeanor
To only flow and flow
Like a paper boat
The ultimate fate of which is to let the water gush in
I immerse in the destiny’s fiasco
Allowing to swallow my existence

What If, not fall and drift with the rain
Not surrender to bruises and pains
Instead, be a ray of sunlight
Courageous to enter the dense droplet
To fight, not bow but bend
To reflect my treasures
Believe in my abilities
Have faith in The “Only One”
And disperse to come out
Splitting a wide spectrum
Of shades of fortitude
Into a VIBGYOR
To shine across the sky
Vibrantly, coherently
Evincing the world
The Rainbow me.

What will make this poem a literary natural masterpiece if what is answer to:
What is the most wonderful and beautiful??
*The Spectrum of the Rainbow* or *The blazing Colors of Autumn*?

Thank you so much for time reading and leaving a comment ๐
Both are wonderful natural phenomena, each having its own very significance. While Rainbow spectrum shows us how beautifully the colors blend together yet carrying their individuality, it shows us not to be disheartened and wait for it to appear after a shower of rain.
While blazing colors of autumn can be perceived in so many different ways, the beauty of the fallen leaves is analogous to our life, we live and then the time comes when we will have to fall and perish. I wrote a poem on autumn as well titled “The fall”, would be happy if you will go through it as well.

SMiLes Dear Samreen Your Poems Are Always
A Treasure As They Take me Back to Places
So Worth Visiting in Life
For Surely i’ve Had
To Get Used to Some
Cuts And Bruises Along The
Way Yet With Enough Practice
What i Find is We Humans if We Just
Don’t Give Up Will Find A Way to Get Through
Truly With Our Basic Survival Instinct of Will
Even if Every Ounce of Hope and Love Seems
Lost Forever Now For There is Change A
Greatest Gift And This too Shall
Pass For Gratitude of
Heaven We Hold
Within Now to Give and Share Now
Caring Freely With All And Also Change For
All the Numb and Pain If We Just Keep Breathing
Putting One Word in Front of Another Word Next And
Foot Steps on the Beach Until We Leave Prints Again
Worth Loving
Dancing
Singing
to Other
Souls Now
Enough Complete Whole
Again in Humanity’s Loving Way
SMiLes Dear Samreen It’s Very Sweet
That you Look Forward to my Comments
And True i Look Forward to Sharing Them
With You In Caring Ways of Human Soul Every
Bit As Much mY

SMiLes
Of Course
As it’s True in Some
Places of the World
My Words Flow
Meaningless
For Some
See No
Soul in my Words…
And That’s Okay i Learn
So Much From Folks Different than me too…
The Most Special Part of Life is Touching Someone Else’s Soul…
So Far Beyond it Will be For What Most Folks Perceive as Existence…
Of Course i Realize This as i Once Viewed Life One Way Back Through
An Opaque Window Glass Soul Nice to Be Set SoUL Free It is Dear FRiEnD..:)

Beautiful poem Samreen, very beautiful. I loved the analogy of a rainbow to come out victorious.
And I also loved the analogy of paper boats flowing with the tide, whose eventual destiny is to have the water rush in. Never pictured it like that.
Floating paper boats on streams brought back beautiful memories from childhood ๐
