from the heart of a rainbow

I will climb to the top of the tallest crane
To unlock the mysterious realm of rain
With a shimmering silver key that I made
For myself when my sadness refused to fade.
I will wait for the first timid drop of rain
To escape and turn the grey of the crane
To a glistening rainbow with me right inside.
But before it becomes such a dreamlike sight,
There'll be thunder and lightning, perhaps - who knows.
Then the sun will come out to tickle my nose
With a scatter of mischievous golden specks.
But I know there'll be some all this will perplex
Or alarm - is it safe on the top of the crane?
Is it sane to unleash on yourself all this rain?
You can give it a try - just imagine the view
From the heart of a rainbow, the sunlight on you.
