We Travel the Rainbow

by WakingFreedom   Nov 30, 2009


I asked my *Maurluq if it was possible to travel the Rainbow,
She told me when we travel to the tundra's of our land,
What colors do we see?
I told the story,
"When we travel from home we follow the color brown river,
That leads to the color grey ocean.
To fill our baskets with the color orange cloudberries,
From the beautiful color green tundra.
When we are finished, we stare at the color blue skies,
And make up journeys for the color white clouds.
When everyone comes around together,
We eat the color red dried fish,
That you packed in your color pink bag.
When we are done,
We leave with our baskets filled with color orange cloudberries,
That we picked from the beautiful color green tundra.
Then we travel the color grey ocean,
And go home with the color brown river.
All in all we travel the rainbow."
