A Thousand Risings

On a clear day

she rises in an instant

dawn’s faint light

consumed in brightness.



Yet when fog lingers

over still water



or clouds scale

the day’s new sky



gold is stretched

along waiting’s edges



revelation magnified

as glory is mirrored

in the transformed greyness.



Your daily faithfulness

unchanged

through a thousand risings

is new every morning
 

Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:22-23
