The Promise

Neon beams of spectrum light inscribed upon the cloud
As artists pastel palette paints and graciously endows
God’s colour chart in majesty on heavens canvas scrolls
In misty watered pastel hues the Promise arc unrolls

Across the hills and valleys the thunder trumpet sounds
from the charcoal hills of slate it deafeningly resounds
There Zeus’s lance divides the air with concentrated might
A visual embodiment, in unharnessed blinding light 

The swirling mist of waterfalls clings close to craggy wall
And offers canvas to the paint sprayed through natures hall
The myriad tints and subtle shades, in Technicolor shows
A master class of artistry displayed in each rainbow.
