Dawn came looking

  Dawn came looking Dawn came looking over the sea Making its way from Wales The sun, red at first, Lit up the sky in May.  All is forgotten The long storms of winter All is forgiven The rains of December.  Bright shines the sun  Rising over the harbor Filling with light A morning of wonder.  High rise our spirits At the beginning of summer  Hope fills our breast  As we refind our courage.  Welcome these    bright days As evenings grow longer  Gold fills the sky The sea shines of silver  Birds fallen silent In quiet contemplation  Of the joy that is springing O’er a world that is sleeping.  The curtains are pulled The windows flung open The cool morning air Invading the bedroom.  Amazed by the ordinary Miracles keep giving Every day, every morning No matter our form.  Sunshine is running Across tousled bedclothes Gilding the pillows Warming our toes.  The colors will leach As the sun rises higher Leavin...

Praise the Lord

  Praise the Lord Praise the Lord who made the earth Inside the symmetry of a solar system Whose sisters number billions Across the mighty Milky Way.  He made our galaxy no orphan Arm in arm with cousin Andromeda One among  two  trillion galaxies And more we’ll never see.  On this blue planet he made man  Product of four billion years And countless starry nights Under an uncertain sky.  Begot of luck and skill Pure chance and a hand divine That chose this blessed corner To hear his story told  In song and verse and hymn Rising through the spires of churches Far and wide across the oceans The peoples came and prayed.  Now no longer time to praise the Lord, Sundays busy now with children’s games   The sound of praise has dimmed across the skies Empty churches lie vacant among the valleys.   Forgotten God becomes forgetting God He loses interest for they have too So alone they spin across the void upon their own Unsure, not knowin...

Te Deum

Te Deum Te deum agamus gratias This cool October evening Now that the autumn air Is cool and clear and full of peace.  We shall give thanks From misty morning til the sun Has disappeared behind the mountains And pink skies light the west.  Grateful for this day For this very moment  Joyful in the now Captured by the present.  The morning rain has passed It fills with smells the forest floor The crows croak high up in the trees Their rasping voices singing vespers.  Below the city thrums with traffic A distant roar, a constant hum Up on the Hill we sit above The cares of life and everything.  Simple pleasures on a simple day Around a corner stands a tree Like a soldier straight and bare A wooded sentinel in prayer.  Other voices ring the woods Calls and thrills and cheeps Night-time stories told to chicks Lull little feathered ones to sleep.
