Sunrise Prayer

Poem © 2013 by Joyce Mason

 Sweet morning

rising from darkness

like steam off a hot tub

soothe me in your gentle stretch

coax every muscle and mindset

alive

with no alarm

Perhaps I’ll see Venus Rising

an omen

or muse on today’s transits

totally without terror

or if I really follow the cycles

of earth and sky

I’ll be a gradual process

morphing from dark to muted

to bright colors

living as loudly as possible

dawn’s whisper.
