Colors of Thought

Thought runs its colors through the air

Kaleidoscope of faith and fear

Torrent of Past’s touch and taste

Of Will and Want and Worth and Waste

Echo apposes the Unknown

Dawn unfurls a new steppingstone

Swift the hour inhales, exhales

Still the jousting clock prevails

Grant us Lord, love’s fervent toil

Desire and Duty moil

In a constant war of will

Limping, leaping, standing still

Learning, loving, letting go

Training, teaching, testing, oh

…thought runs colors through the air

Kaleidoscope of hope and prayer
