Rainbows Round this Ripening Field

Rainbows round this ripening field of favour and blessing

Coats shed and flung away

Glory circles where the pressing veil is passed and gone

For joy the field is turning turtle – and over and over

Studded stars around the sphere where angels were

Old leaves fell and fled away

Light shone where before the lesser led, and had deceived

For brave delight the world is flipped – over and over

Casks and canyons, flasks and treasured chests all opening

Rivers ran with crystal in-between

Shafts were piercing where the bent thing had had its day

 For love each heart surrendering – turning over and over

Flags and flyers, banners and tied threads unravelling 

Life dividing tares from wheat

Reapers sifting where rainbows circle ancient crowns

In thought doors opened – yet for joy – over and over!
