Day after Christmas
still worthy of thought
still one to cherish
perhaps more important still
one day nearer
to death and resurrection
more important because the distractions have subsided
and we can reflect
treasure what truly is our gift
today I saw a rainbow and recognized its value
in all its glory and beauty
passing only for some to see
a message
of hope?
like our life which is but a vapor
fades
there is hope for wonderous
beyond
far far beyond or within
a wholeness that is meant for each of us
present
perfect beauty that exists
though not quite in full form
here
so heaven ward I cast my eyes
and my spirit flies
let me be
