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
