Dawn birds begin to sing,
awakening the sky.
Eager to join the sun
in birthing this new day.
A soft breeze stirs the leaves,
splintering the morning light
that falls upon my path
through these familiar woods.
I sit down and lean against
a broad maple trunk,
then close my grateful eyes
and inhale the fragrant earth.
Between my place on the ground
and the airy canopy above,
abundant branches grow,
capable of supporting my prayers;
holding them up to Heaven.
