More than the Morning - Anodea Judith

[Larry Robinson]

More than the Morning

It’s more than the morning we must wake up to
The birds have been singing for hours in our dreams.
Let us not be too sleepy to remember the countless blessings
Waiting to unfold in a day remembered with Grace.

Let us not forget to love,
To smile, to breathe the simple truth
That all life’s precious configurations 
Are designed to guide us to our awakening.

What a paradox that we must sleep to dream
And awaken to fulfill our dreams.
What a paradox that we must die to full live,
Give to receive, and empty to fill up again.

Even our longing is a blessing,
For it carries the wind across the sea;
And stirs the ocean of the soul
Into the creative matrix of wonder.
