Yesterday’s Promises

Lost
shouting
screaming
wondering
“Where are you?”

You said
you’d never leave
and yet

Are you there?
Do you hear me?
Do you care?

Then
a whisper
a reminder painted
across the sky
prisms
of colour
point to the promises of yesterday
a stranger
sent from you

Declares
God is good.
Look

to the cross.
