Hello again! Just a little disclaimer- I debated posting this or not for a while just because of it's somewhat controversial nature. I'm not going to apologize for it, but if anyone feels that it should be removed, I do understand, really. It's a touchy subject, especially in faith communities, but it is a poem about faith from my faith, so I'll put it here for now. Shalom! Red Pride and justice, a sign of authority: stop Orange Flames that crackle and flicker in the night Yellow The light which sustains us all Green Lush growth bringing life in abundance Blue Ocean and sky, flowing into one another Purple Bloodshed and the faith it will cease Indigo That which we cannot see, but trust is there When put together, A rainbow- A sign of promise No one left out in the cold No man, no woman No child No man and man Woman and woman Or anyone else In this beautiful spectrum of people A symphony of hope This rainbow Would not be without trials and storms It is trying Living with rains all around But there is light Brilliant light Penetrating through the downpour It is bent by the water But not broken or diminished- Made even more wondrous through the diversity created A rainbow is a sign of God’s promise God's Promise for all [This message has been edited by TheBackOfTheMill (03-15-2005 04:56 PM).] |

I enjoyed this one. Just a little criticism however. In the 2nd line of the last verse, I think you meant to say "trials" instead of "trails"?? You can change it. It would make more sense and give the verse better flow. Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |
