I'm home, Lord,
but I'm thinking about sunrise yesterday morning,
my last day on retreat in Gloucester...
There's no seascape in my Belmont window's view
and the sky's not big enough to reveal each morning
how you take out your palette and, with brush to the earth's canvas,
paint yet another version of the new day you have made...
I miss that view, Lord, but take comfort in knowing
that what my sight lines hide
is as true and beautiful this morning as it was yesterday,
that no matter where I sleep or wake,
not a day goes by without your rising
in my mind and heart and prayer
just as gloriously as you dawn
upon the waters in Brace Cove...
Be my light today, Lord,
and, as I might,
let me be your light for others...
Amen.
