(for hour 13—from the rainbow image prompt)

 

I Accept All Your Promises

 

Of all those counted up like random lists petty humans try to track,

how can I choose which pledge is most meaningful?

 

Of more than three thousand spoken to assure believers, how can I choose which of your promises brings the peace that passes understanding?

 

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder…

and some may find the symbol placed over Noah’s quitting the ark

more beautiful than words can express…

 

Yet to fulfill the promise of eternal life

you allowed petty humans to hang your beautiful son on a cross.

And that speaks more of love to me than a dozen oaths cloaked in vibrant refracted light.
