Come Morning


The night and the blackness of it
has finally passed into the beyond
into that mysterious place
called the other side of the world
where twilight, moon and stars dwell

Yet in its place
a fabulous transformation occurs
morning breaks with a glorious
burst of color on the horizon
and the soft wispy fog dissipates
like sleepy-time sweetness from
the eyes of an awakening child

each morning is new
fresh, invigorating like the very first
that ever emerged to grace the earth
with its beauty, its vibrancy
grand and bold, a testimony to life
a new beginning, a new day

energize in the rapture of the mornings light
bathe in the abundant opportunities
that await you
confirmed anew for you and you alone
stretch your arms, elevate your spirit
embrace yourself and who you are
prepare yourself well, night is over
today, this new day, is your day to shine

Come Morning
