A Scientist, a thinker, believer in miracles,
He sought someone to make a glass vessel,
To simulate a raindrop.
Filled with water, the only other requirement
was light,
Plus an observer;
Someone to see the rainbow.
The world felt dark those days,
Yet there was light,
And sometimes there were rainbows.
The scientist, the thinker, the believer,
Set out to create rainbows,
Measure the shape of them,
Share their secrets.
One drop,
Something magnified,
Caught in the light.
Marvellous.
