Analysis of Rainbow Jigsaw



Rearranging pieces of Earth's kaleidoscope sky
above this horizon called life
consists of multi-tasking and planing
This job of highly individualized vectors
Includes defying gravity
while completing rainbow's puzzle
Utilizes an attractive celestial sequence
despite all weather conditions
Then navigating all colorful wedges
without dropping them in an airless atmosphere
Finally working tirelessly to create
an aviator's heavenly picture puzzle
is non-negotiable
Simply one jigsaw element at a time
Whether it be a joyous ray of sun
or a bitter teardrop of rain
Yellow and blue force fields hang in suspense
Anger and love polarize
composing the infamous band of red
Green connects fragments of arboreal nature
Regal richness within the realms
of physical, emotional, and spiritual
interlocks violet and indigo
These elements of science:
Master, motions, and matter
design the empyrean rainbow of life
