morning breaks

the sun intrudes destroying my
sleep the dreams that excite or
frighten banished by the molten
ball of fire and i gasp into another
day unsure in this unexpected year
what tomorrow looks like yet
knowing that today i breathe i live
i can worship and with my second
gasp i bow to the One greater than
any sun who chooses to awaken me
each day knowing that i can choose
to fight for hope to recognise the gifts
He gives and the days allotted to look
with joy upon lives that surround me
and creation's wonders and resist the
fear and nightmarish quality this world
daily succumbs to while pressing into
today and knowing no matter what sea
is in my way He does the impossible
and the more dark it seems the more
opportunity for Him to shine forth
brighter than the light that broke
in upon me this sunny morning
