Love is a rainbow.
I wonder
If the colors are God’s pure light
Refracted through
The different dancing atoms of creation
Or if love
Comes sparkling from the hands of God
In varied hues
Scattered with wild and wonderful purpose?
Love is a rainbow.
I wonder
If God’s smiling promise
After the flood
To cleanse our souls and the world
With Jesus’ tears and baptismal waters
Rather than a flood of wrath
Means that every mini-rainbow caught
In a drop of water in the summer sun
Or after a spring shower
Is love made visible?
Love is a rainbow.
I wonder
if living into God’s promise
is like living on a rainbow
or like having all of heaven’s hues
poured into our hearts.
