Glimpsing God

Glimpsing God behind the cusp

of a technicolour rainbow,

the colours left over from

our conversation, a one-sided

exchange which drew not blood

but disbelieving hope.

My red, dangerous desires,

my yellow fears,

burnt orange anger,

fresh green dreams and

deep, purple-blue tears,

tailed by the ultra violet promise of tomorrow,

all paraded before my eyes and soul

with indistinct understanding eluding

my outstretched heart, until

at last the colours dissolve and

disappear. And with it,

all potential, dreams and promises

shrink and escape into the ether.

But at least the sun is now shining.

As soon as I saw Jeremy`s name I knew I was going to get a fine read. This impresses with the centrality of the theme,but at the same time a personal and a universal message. As ever, quality poetry from one of the best poets on this site..

A deep and revealing poem. I loved the colors used and the contrast of the ending. Nicely done.
