Rainbow Children of Light
After every dark downpour,
the tears of heaven makes the sky brighter
But many still only blindly see
through the prism of pain
So sadly,
they continue to have dreary thoughts
soaked in perpetual rain
Suffering through the constant hurt,
the rejection and the shame
Always mired in a burdensome trail of troubles,
their wet eyes gaze wearily
towards a watery grave ... filled from an empty life
In a raging sea of tribulation,
they drown their sorrows with fermented things,
letting perverse pondering
corrupt their anguished thinking
But the downtrodden ones ... the wasting away souls;
those who by faith peer through the Ark window,
they know there is saving hope in the rainbow
With moist praying eyes,
they chose to let the tormenting past go
They bowed down in baptismal grace,
and allowed God
to let the coffin lid mercifully close
Their woes were lifted from their heavy eyes,
No longer do they see
through a prism prison of pulmonary pain
Arising free from every bad memory
of hurtful deeds ... done to them or to another
They receive peaceful rest, and no longer suffer
Rainbow seeds planted in the torrential night
Awaken twinkling eyes ...
sunflower souls changed into children of light
Transfigured hearts of blossoming dead petals,
firmament rainbow tears
have clean washed away cloudy scarlet shadows
