Morning Benediction
On the slate of morning I write my day
Inscribed with simple symbols that cast the spell.
I close my eyes and breathe the trees.
I suck the day into my bones, and integrate,
knowing it is all an extension of myself.
My senses stretch and feel the melody
played on the strings of morning
I hold still for a moment in eternity
as my dreams entwine
and flow through its timelessness
Deep pools of thought gather at my feet
and rise to give me drink.
I rise on the swelling tide
and reach to the horizon
on this nbew day
in the continuing search
for something so long lost
among the wastes
and feel into endlessness
for that which I know
Is somewhere there in plain view
Something I hid from myself
beyond time
and I know
when I grow
wise enough
it will show
and it will be me
no longer lost.
Until then
I know
I am the morning
in all its glory and promise
