Rainbow

After reading George MacDonald's "The Golden Key".

Rainbow

The hammer that broke the evening in two
Shard looking glass faces
Shatter scattered dark and light
Separating sky from day and night
And came into being
Two worlds
The settled world and the other world
The world inside the rainbow...
Spectrum of light, wonder, and mystery
The possible impossible
Sometimes the two worlds merge
But mostly in dreams
Climbing between conscious and unconscious
Awakening truth the hammer breaks through
Both worlds
The possible impossible
Where one voice says to the other
"How can this be?" and
"It is."
Sometimes it isn't
But the hammer and the evenings
And rainbows and dreams
Are
