Rainbow Promise

One from the archive, from 6th May 2005, part of a sequence called "Clouds of Glory"

Rainbow Promise

Clouds came, with heavy, falling rain
Thunder crashed from sky, as if in pain
And lightning flashed in all directions,
Wind lashed the land, fear in afflictions
Of people, taking shelter, holding hands
As the dark storm beats across the lands.


When storm is over, the rainbow comes
A bow in the clouds, this now becomes
A sign of promise, between the maker
And all that lives, both now and later.
A covenant of clouds, that now the rain
Brings rivers of life, grass on the plain.
