I
heard an urgent call, a shout,
a
race down the dark stairs
a
flicker of color as I ran outside
an
arc, His bow, His promise
shown
down on us.
Standing
in awe and wonder
the
rich color muted in the city
It
curves over the alley
above
the tenements, the wires
the
clutter, the stresses of life.
It
was a timely reminder
in
good times and bad
of
your faithfulness,
Your
covenant with Your people;
a
beautiful arc, a shimmering bow
a
pleasure to behold
a
piece of hope placed
for
a moment, a few seconds.
It
was unnoticed by so many,
lost
in the push and pull
of
daily living, their struggles
shared
with those lucky few
who
stopped for a moment or two
and
looked up, at your handiwork,
a
rainbow of hope.
