May We Be Rainbows

Reaching for Rainbows

I keep reaching for rainbows...

Thinking one God’s morning

I will wake up with rainbow ribbons in my hair,

With hurts painted over in hues that only angel wings could brush,

Black obliterated, chaos hurled beyond the rainbow and my vision,

The world created in a myriad of colors:

The hungry fed, The dying held,

The maimed walking, The angry stroked,

The violent calmed, The oppressed freed,

The oppressors changed,

And every tear wiped away.

I keep reaching for rainbows,

But instead of colors in our storm,

Gray and black infiltrate, dirtying the sky,

And I hear human voices wailing in the darkness,

the never-ending darkness....

Just the same I know the promise of the rainbow.

I keep thinking I’ll turn a corner one day

And find a litany of rainbows flung across the sky,

Hosannaing back and forth

Through all the ages and Out into eternity forever amen!

Every tear wiped away -

It’s a promise - When we become rainbows to each other.

Closing Prayer

Holy Mystery, we live in Hope

Hope for a world of peace, joy and love

We Long to see your kindom come on earth as it is in heaven.

Help us to see the promise signs you give us each and every day of our lives. Transform us that we may become signs of your hope and love for one another this advent season.

Amen
