Wake Up and Dawn Gently Breaking

The end of the year is fast approaching closely followed by the dawning of the new year with all of its potential challenges, triumphs, joys and friendships. 

This morning I was reflecting a bit on this past year and the coming year and I came across these poems that I had written back in June.  I thought it would be appropriate to share them here.  They came to me following an early morning process, one of those rare times when I allow my soul to respond without resistance to a sleep state/dream state trigger no matter what the time of day or night. 

This is the gift that God gives me when I allow Love to prevail in my life.


Wake Up

Wake up, wake up
The day softly calls
New adventures to be had
Old memories to recall
God’s Love to discover
As He reshapes my soul.

Wake up, wake up
Come out and see
As God calls softly to me
To experience His Majesty
To soak in the warmth
Of His Divine Love
Flowing into my heart
from Heaven above

Dawn gently breaking
A soft glow is growing
As the darkness in my soul
With God’s Love is transforming

Into a gently glowing light for all the world to see
The power that God’s Love
Has over me
Reshaping my soul and making me whole
Slowly the light grows
As the sun peaks over the horizon
Slowly the day brightens and suddenly I see
That God transforms my soul
Just as He does each new day
Softly, slowly, gently
So as not to alarm
But rather to warm and to calm

Wake up, wake up
The day softly calls
New adventures to be had
Old memories to recall
God’s Love to discover
As He reshapes my soul.

Dawn gently breaking

Dawn gently breaking
A soft glow is growing
As the darkness of night
Gives way to a new day awakening.

The twinkling lights of the city
Fade in the distance
As the warm glowing sky
Offers no resistance
To the newness of the day
Beckoning me forth to go out and play

A kookaburra calls gladly
His laughter is catching
‘come play with me’ he calls
A chorus of song responding
As God’s creatures let me know
That a new day is beckoning

The warmth of the sunshine
Washers over a new day
Beckoning me to come out and play
To uncover the secrets of this unique day
And join in the chorus of praise
For all of God’s abundant gifts

A day full of promise and hope
Full of laughter and tears
Full of surprises and fears
As I allow God’s Love
To wash away my resistance
And to reveal the real me that She created.

Dawn gently breaking
A soft glow is growing
As the darkness of night
Gives way to a new day awakening
