Rainbows

Rainbows are but one of the signs
covenants of the creator
The order of the world
His faithfulness to us, his children
whether deserving or not
In the turning of the seasons,
the words of the scriptures
the story of his boundless love
The gift of life, born of clay,
The breath of God
Our salvation, the offering of the son
birthing us anew, raising a church
with him who was risen
And his spirit, shining within us
the still-burning fires of Pentecost
emboldening the believers
from the first, to the present day
