Monday Morning Offering: 8/8

Morning Coffee by George Mendoza

 

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.
