Early Morning Prayer

By Rev. Aria Tuki

When the early morning ache

of grief, loss, and

loneliness swells and

threatens to devour hope,

open the window.

 

Drink the cup of beauty

and wildness offered

on the cool, fresh breeze, with 

the chorus of feathered ones

welcoming the new day.

 

Let the music of sweet birdsong

soothe your frayed spirit,

and be a balm for your heart.

Their morning prayer

can save you too.
