MORNING PRAYER

Half-sleeping souls do gather
to share a chilly morning prayer,
singing chants to bless the day
and welcome a new chance.

Raspy voices on the prowl
for notes that will elude them.
But the power of heart’s intent,
earns them deep forgiveness.

Rhythmic drumming links our hearts
as now we sit in silence,
awaiting Creator’s bright morning gift
to warm expectant faces.

Glory peeks above the mesa
bringing hope to dormant dreams.
Living in the space within us
where we dare to sing.
