RAINBOWS

Dear God, You threw the first rainbow
across the sky to welcome Noah
and his grand menagerie
back to land as the Great Flood ended.

Thank You for this symbol of hope
and promise of renewal
which now appears to us unannounced,
happily, reassuringly.

Let this multi-hued arch in the sky
be always to me a reminder
that You are there, in Your Majesty,
far beyond our sight,
beyond the margins of our universe
but, yes, yes,
still always here, close,
immediate,
within my heart and my soul,
patiently understanding
my every worry, every joy
and every instant act.

May I stop each time I see
this glorious sign of Yours
written in broad colors in the sky
to thank You for all Your gifts,
and to renew my faith, my hope,
my love for you and all your creation.

I look forward, my God,
to your kingdom of infinite skies,
and golden glories.
Please keep me reminded
to stay on the path,
and to follow my rainbows
to the portals of eternity.

Amen
