Morning Prayers

1
Dawn

Rays of God's new day
scatters the forces of night,
send into hiding
the creatures of darkness,
and bestow new life
on all who turn to the light.

2
On The Eight Day

The eight day dawned bright
With humanity reborn
Into God's new world order

3
Daybreak

Why does night deepen?
To fight day's rising splendor!

Why does the sky bleed?
The glory of the Beloved!

Who scatters dawn's rays?
The atoms of its beauty!

What makes morning cold?
Shedding its grandeur into
Space earth bleeds for the Beloved!

Who ignites the dawn?
Ray of living light
Dispel the legions of night!

4
Dawn

Dawn's scarlet apples
Release their tart blood
In mute torrents
Across the purple sky.

5
Dawn Prayers

Dawn
and dawn prayers
bring the best out in me
and set the tone for the rest of the day.

6
After Morning Prayers

The presence
of the Beloved lingers
scenting the air with tranquility.

7
Dawn

In the light of the rising sun,
The morning sky is scarlet,
Clouds of dogma block men's sight,
Obscuring the Lord's return.

8
Meditation Before Dawn

Tranquility listens
for the approaching chaos
of morning.

9
My Favorite Time of Day

When the sun kisses
the mountain's crest transmuting
it to burnished gold
my eye lids open
and I greet the day with prayer

10
Light Switch

A switch if flipped
Certitude flows through mental circuits
Dispelling the darkness of doubt
