prayer

Already the bird are singing
Praise for the sunrise

They know the glory of the day
Will begin....they join together
On the water 
awaiting.....awakening

I crack the hatch and feel the
Chill of the crisp air, against the sweat , dew, of the heated cabin, 
, I cuddle around large covers and little girl from night before.....

Singing... .

Thoughts  berate  me, I expect they are leaving.....as they pass, reviewing what 
serves  no purpose ,  even in memory  -  times in abuse I have endured , I see 
them play out and I start with forgiveness, 
For being left was much worse
I forgive first myself,
I  let  churn  my stomach, 
I expand space
For time moves forward only

I grieve, and I cry for freedom, 
I open my heart to only love
for what  I am grateful for, 
for all of humanity....

Amen
