The world seemed a colorless place today.
The sky was a closed door,
Bolted and shut,
As if guarding all that azure
Behind the clouds.
I looked for some bright hue
And saw a scarlet ball
Perched on a tree, quiet and still.
A sign caught my eye,
Bold proclamation in red!
Vivid memorials in the cemetery
Declared a love not forgotten.
And I remembered,
I remembered what Jesus said.
I read it twice this morning:
Be of good cheer.
Be of good cheer, daughter.
And with good cheer,
I walked back home.
I’ll probably delete this in the morning.
