Morning Prayer

This morning I woke knowing that something has changed.

You and I followed a dream to its end

as far as one can come to the end of a dream

only to find that the our hope, once rose and white, its perfume delicious

had turned in the night to a blue cast

that even now is beginning to show form

whisper a word

call us home.

Blessed God here I am

prayer in hand

empty bowl

one dream

gone

You

before me

receiving me

as I am

in any color.

And so: Amen.

  1. Rings so true! Thank you.
    So happy I signed up.
    Somewhat spoiled by “it’s” where “its” is called for, probably due to Autocorrect which I have found does not like “its”!
