Upon awakening

before the sun begins to rise

I talk to God

thanking Him for opening my eyes

The ability to feel

the breeze in the air

see the brilliant sun rise

pink and oranges with a flair

Thankful to hear

the birds sing

listening to the lyrics

messages that in truth ring

In extreme chaos

calmness reigns

it is well in my soul

there are no chains

Listening to the rain

rhythm soothes my soul

God speaks to me

our conversations never grow old
