The promise of hope


A friend returns 
After a long absence, 
And we sit together, watching the rain, 
Exchanging joys and concerns until 
A rainbow rises before us: 
A splash of color when all was gray; 
A promise of hope 
When it’s easy to despair. 
And though it quickly fades, 
The hope remains.
