The Color of Faith

Rainbow is the color of religion,
God's light
shining through the prism
of the word made flesh
split into the spectrum of faith.

Blue is the color of the soul,
flickering toward indigo
as it pursues
the meaning of the Holy Books
and the reason
God sent different men
throughout history
to proclaim His ancient covenant
and renew His ancient faith.

God's Messengers
(God's word made flesh)
look down upon humanity
and weep;
through their tears
the single bright white light
of God's love shines
upon humanity.
