Whisper A Pink Amen
Though it snows in the west and rains in the east, may I dance
Though Spring crawls, baby steps this way, these days, may we sing
With the grey shadowing pinks and the clouds hiding hope, may we still rejoice
Still, the season hides her beauty timid as a dove, may I trust
Though the memory of past joy overshadows pregnant possibilities, may I know
That light will burn bright hope around the edges of the dark
Through all the seasons, for forever
Glory, glory, Hallelujah, whisper soft a pink and tender
amen,
a song of certainty.

Joining Tweetspeak Poetry and Wordcandy.me and 100 sweet bloggers with a wordcandy writing prompt for the lovely month of May. This one from Lyla Lindquist is exquisite. But maybe that’s just me.
oh my word, this is an exquisite prompt and your writing here, elizabeth — it moves. i’ve been thinking so much of habakkuk 3:17-19 this week, and this is a glorious echo of that. “though….yet.” this sings, my friend!
Living in a lot of grey, seeking pink. Your smile helps more than you know.
