Morning Refreshment

Tempting much too early

Overflowing thoughts stir

Life’s background music plays

Traveling to Big Sur

 

Remembering darkness

Transforming to moonlight

Memories play again

Rising from calmest night

 

Filling empty bucket

Pondering this new day

Distant dawn now teases

Opening mind to play

 

Feeling heartbeat’s rhythm

Leaving shadow’s twilight

Wisdom’s timeless travels

Scaling forgotten heights

 

Harmonizing sunrise

Glowing horizon beams

Sweet morning refreshment

Waking from blissful dream

From the Old Testament, we follow the journey of God’s people.  May we trust our faith’s senses to see, hear, touch, smell, and taste the lessons found in His vision.
