In the damp dark uncertainty,

in the ominous threat of the storm,

appears a gentle arc of colours

the rainbow that remembers the light.

 

In the silent questions of doubt,

in the disturbing vertigo of Your seeming absence

whispers a silent promise

the covenant of your forever being-here

 

I praise You, God, for rainbows and promises

and the courage I find

in their comforting presence

 

Amen.
