Dawn Prayer
Oh! precious dawn ~
paint me from your endless palette
of transient tangerines and burnished gold's,
delicate azure blues and firey reds. Colors
that blaze and sing across the morning
skies in provocative and ever swirling
brush strokes.
Oh wondrous dawn, I breathe you in, I fill
my eyes with your colors and feel your
warmth upon my nakedness.
I watch you, streaking across the skies
and I am a child again, chasing paper
kites across clover meadows and nibbling
candy floss as I dance through the
fairground of my childhood.
Bathe me in your glory and whisper your
sacred morning mantra into my being, lift me
from the grey remnants of the dark lonely
night into your loving motherly arms.
Suckle me at your breast, infuse me with your
colors of love and beauty, that I may become
a reflection of the hope your colors bring.
Oh Precious dawn -
Herald my existence as you herald each new
day, and let me be known to my Lord God -
- by the colors you paint me.

For many many years I go swimming at dawn.
Just me ,the seagulls,a drifting dog(maybe) and the crystal clear sea.
You feel sooo blessed to be alive and enjoy all this beauty around you....
Thank you,Dee.Now I have and your inspiring prayer to accompany my swim.....🌄
Hi lysistrata ,
Thank you for your lovely review...you painted a perfect picture with your words, I love swimming, I have never swam at dawn but often walk at this time of morning and I love it.. yes we are blessed to be surrounded by all the beauty of nature, whatever the season I love each and every one.. Thank you again my friend... Best wishes...Dee
WOW DEE ~ Beautiful an awesome symbiosis of picture and poem. New every morning is God's love ~ our waking and uprising prove ! Every sunrise is different and our dawn prayer is to a God of infinite variety ~ who treats each of us as individuals. Our GOD is an awesome GOD ! Your free verse is perfect and ripples with rhythm ~ You are beautiful. Love BRIAN
Thank you so very much Brian...I am happy you enjoyed my Dawn Prayer. I shall never cease to sing the praises of God and his miracles, The times I have been awe struck by a beautiful dawn and think nothing could ever be as beautiful and then to be further blessed with a breath taking sunset, there is just no end to His gifts.. How sad that some do not recognise them as His love for us..Thank you Brian for your wonderful review......All Blessings to You.....Dee
