Rainbow
You know, when the sky is so clear after a long period of rain, at midday
The birds start to fly about since they won’t get soaked anymore,
The plants are wet with the dewdrops sprinkled by the shower,
The streets are drying up with stains left from what spilled from above,
Then the clouds still gloomy, but seemed more at peace,
now that they’ve finally let go of all the rain they carried.
Meanwhile, the sun barely broke through the clouds, but you still tried to look for a rainbow to remind yourself that: “indeed, there is always a rainbow after the rain.”
However, there wasn’t any sign of the rainbow, not even a glimmer anywhere, because as it turns out, the colors of the rainbow had been painted all over the canvas of the sky, not just in an arc of stripes,
But as a gradient sight.
And that is how our life is.
We often try so hard looking for the obvious, but the truth is, it does not work like that. You won’t notice it easily, and you often overlook it if you keep searching for something so specific.
Good and beautiful things won’t be as plainly visible as a rainbow showing up against the sun and clear skies.
The moment you stop looking is when you actually start seeing;
The small moments, the tiny hints, and the baby steps
Little by little, without you even noticing, life just somewhat unfolds,
and it fills up the empty spaces the heavy rain left behind.

However, there wasn’t any sign of the rainbow, not even a glimpse of its stripe, because, ayun pala, sky ang may dala nung gradient of the rainbow. it was all over, not just in the stripes

it isn’t sunny, but the
Tapos hindi naman sobrang sumikat yung araw pagkaulan, pero you still tried to look for the rainbow
Yung nagsisimula na rin magliparan yung mga ibon kasi hindi na sila mababasa ng ulan
yung mga halaman naman basa, sprinkled by the shower
