Rainbow Life













velvet pansy richness
silky oriental fabric
violets crushed underfoot
purple cabbage sizzling between slices of apple











starry midnight eyes
the sky just beyond the bumpy edge of cloud
paint drops on the driveway
ink on the page















translucent blades of grass
cool evergreen shade
aged books embossed with gold
cucumbers and celery, sliced crisp

budding daffodils
baby curls
banana-colored yarn











orange peels spraying scented mist
the full moon hanging close and heavy
waxy crayon
dusty lily hearts












cherry highlights packed in a bowl
lips curved happy
row of cool clay pots
fallen rose petals

and all washed sparkling down with humbled grateful tears

Shall we stand in awe a little, together? Let us discuss our great need and feel, together, the great ache of humankind. Let us rejoice, together, in the miracle, the salvation which defies the laws of logic and understanding. And if a few tears escape let us urge each other to be unashamed of the joy. Let us point our fingers, let us redirect one another's attention to the goal. Catch my hand when I begin to wander from the shadow of the cross.
