Rainbows apologize for angry skies.

The line personifies weather to express a familiar emotional arc: after turmoil comes a compensating beauty. “Angry skies” suggests conflict, grief, or harsh circumstances; the rainbow becomes a kind of reparative gesture—an “apology” offered by the world after it has hurt us. The phrasing implies that consolation does not erase the storm, but it can acknowledge it and soften its aftermath. As a compact metaphor, it also hints at the conditions of hope: rainbows require both rain and light, so the very forces that darken experience can be prerequisites for moments of clarity, tenderness, or renewed perspective.
