Good morning, good God!
A friend posted a photo, Lord
and after one brief glance
my heart slipped and fell into that lily pond,
into its perfect, peaceful stillness
and its simple mystic beauty:
pale green pods softly muted
by magenta's royal presence...

So it's my heart I come to offer, Lord,
this August Monday morning:
let me fall into the stillness
of the peace your presence offers,
the mystery of your healing grace
muting any fear or fury
stirring in my soul...
Let me slip, fall, dive
into the waters of your wisdom,
the depths of pure serenity,
your mystical divinity
revealed in all creation...And if you would, Lord,
pluck a lily from the pond of your sweet mercy:
with one blossom open wide my eyes
to grace my day with beauty,
anoint my heart with glory,
crown me with your saving peace
and clothe me in a royal robe
of deep magenta joy...
Amen.
