Tranquillity....


My day begins,
With heat of the morning sun,
The cool wind whispers… goading me back to comfort,
But the praising birds remind me… its time to pray

I wake… from a calm and peaceful death,
And raise my heavy body,
Fighting the chains that hold me down,

I thank God…
Acknowledge His Glorious Majesty,
In whose intense light, my shadow burns.

I praise God as I wash…
In water as calm as my morning thoughts,
Its clarity reflecting my purpose,
Washing away my sins with its purity,

I stand…
In solitude… subservient and serene,
Remembering my purpose, my reason for being,
And quietly… so only myself can hear,

I read…
Revealing the miracle that our hearts conceal,
Verse after verse… I feel my faith grow,
As tears form under eyelashes pregnant with guilt,

I prostrate…
Remembering the promise of my Lord,
I ask for guidance, forgiveness and hope,
A Refuge from a world of uncertainty and doubt,

Ending my prayer I restart my life,
Reaffirming my faith, with each morning light,
As the cool wind whispers… tranquillity
