Daily rituals (Form: GENESIS) A Senior Center Forum Entry
Sunrise Sacraments


The morning light creeps past the shades,
tugs at my sleeping eyes.
Cover wrapped, I play charades
as I beg it to desist.
It understands but still cascades
which comes as no surprise.

The smell of coffee fills the air;
its incense calls to me.
It pulls me from my fabric lair.
I'm helpless to resist.
I bow my head, give thanks in prayer.
One more day I get to see.

Each day's a gift I celebrate
with this simple ritual.
There's no reason to deviate
from what seems to work.
I won't tempt the hand of fate;
it's now habitual.
