Poetry Sunday ~ Sunrise

Luke 1: 79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Sunrise

The morning breaks

With flaming sun

I hear the winds

The rays outrun.

I see the shadows

In length from trees

Swaying softly

To the morning breeze.

Darkness lingers

Before the dawn

Creatures who creep

Are now withdrawn.

Softly the daylight

Breaks through the sky

Warming the ground

Without a sigh.

I raise my eyes

Begin to pray.

For God has granted

Me this day.

I will soar

Always share

With all I love

And whom I care.

Nothing dark

Will come from me

I’ll shine as the Son

For all to see.

Matt. 10: 27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.
