Awakening, A Morning Psalm

The dawn broke over
the mountain, your mountain,
blinding white and prismatic
The sun, your sun, discovered
an uncurtained sliver
of window, my window
and the room exploded
into brilliance

 

Just a sliver of you
was all it took to find me,
to make me shield my eyes
from your furious sunrise

 

"Light, exist!"
Oh, God, how glorious
you must have been
when darkness dissolved
in the fire of your will
and a million mornings rushed
upon eternity, your eternity

 

Uncurtain my heart, My Urgent Lover
I surrender to this new day, your day

 

Dazzle me!
