I awoke to darkness
Of nothing but to see
But then upon horizon
It changed in front of me
Gently of appearing
Of the softest hue
One of the transforming
Of colors pink and blue
Though the earth be moving
Creation all was still
In awe of silent praising
We offer up our will
To the light of turning
In gift of day begun
And in this holy moment
All of us are one
Ripples flow
In water blue
As mornings light
Consumes the view
Listen now
Of ripples song
Inviting me
To join along
A simple prayer
Of Presence be
Allowing You
To flow through me
An echo now
Flow from this prayer
Within the way
Of You to share
A pause into stillness
A gaze in the view
Just above horizon
Such a beautiful blue
Simple emptying
Above falling into
Spirit drifts along
With a cloud or two
One that calms the soul
Connection to the deep
Prayer of easy being
Comfort here to seep
Message which to carry
With humble look above
Providence of cover
One of precious love
Soft is the horizon
As orange turns to blue
Last star of the night
Continues to shine through
Trees of silhouette
Frame this morning’s view
A whisper of to be
Warms the soul anew
Light of the bestowing
Awakening into
Rebirths inner calling
Drawing soaking through
Night of stilling water
Finds purpose to pursue
Gives rise to Spirit’s mist
An offering to You
In shades of this morning
A blessing of view
Sweet of reflection
In solitudes blue
Associated
With feelings so low
Deeper the colors
For us to know
One of the calming
Of humility
Through prayer of turning
United we be
In one desire
Earth and heaven align
Through His gift of grace
Alignment we find
Gazing in horizon
Captured in the view
Find the soul a drifting
Lost in water blue
Seen in the reflection
Light of facet true
Gentle wave of flowing
A grace granted by You
Just beyond the vision
A prayer enter into
Along this world we’re seeing
Is way of Spirit, too
Soul of the connection
A whisper to construe
In gifts of the unseen
The way of true value
