Rising up with this new day
In the brilliance of a welcoming
In the celebration of breath
Wide eyed and wondering.
`
How glorious a morning can be
Knowing the gratitude of living
Feeling life surge in every cell
The tingle of life on our surfaces
`
Wide eyed and wondering
How it can be that this dis-ease
Stalks the very air we breathe
Stalks it into great compromise
`
Each breath that supports life
Each breath that fills us up
With this morning Sun rise
Grants a facade of well being
`
Wide eyed and wondering
Knowing that this glorious
Moment is all there is
Taking it in like a baby’s first
`
Breath of innocence filling up
Out of the womb of safety
To the vibrance of daily living
On our own in witness
`
Wide eyed and wondering
We face what comes
In all our vulnerability
All our joy and skepticism
`
Wondering in the loud and
The quiet of the way life
Delivers us to each breath
Again and again
`
Can we keep our hearts
Wide open to receive
Our moments gracious
In gratitude, in accountability
~
No matter the deliverance
The gifting, the hard slams
The gentle caresses
The dis-ease that tumbles
`
Us all into fears waiting arms
Wide eyed and wondering
Can this new moment
This breath like the very first
`
Guide us back to a new day
A fresh horizon waking up
Inviting us to revel in the
Wonder, the magic, the innocence
`
Of a new day rising
Seeing with eyes from our heart
Wide open and wondering
How can we serve All this in love
