Rainbow Symphony

I looked through my prism Still I could not see Your colors I wished for the beauty of a sunrise Wild flowers blooming Bright blue sky and emerald waters The colors of fall leaves I wanted a rainbow symphony To hear and see your majesty To walk along your red carpeted splendor The magnificence of you Hidden behind a wall of dark grey A protective layer of granite Cold to the touch Unyielding I chipped Searching for cracks Tapped out cryptic messages Hoping you would understand You guided me to the entry way past the sentinels Down the corridors To your banquet hall Where now I celebrate Marvel at the brilliance of you I see I hear I feel Each note My prism Inadequate to the task I see your colors Oh so many colors Rainbows cannot articulate Butterfly's look anemic Diamonds lack clarity I see I try to understand The magnificence of you The perfection The power The glory Yet I cannot You are I am not Yet because of you I see A glimpse of eternity New poem for SKAT's "All Colors are in" contest
