The Lord is at hand

    Now is the day.
Here is the awakening:
    Every morning
  the song is for us,
 the moment shines.

Sunlight prisms through windows --
         falls gently
  over mothers and fathers
   sisters and brothers
          in sleep,
      bringing awaking --
  anticipation to our faces,
    joy to light our eyes --

    Jesus comes in light --
    recharging our world.

Tenderly spirit passes through coffee
 talk and hairbrushes, caressing
        ordinary moments;
    borne on waves of love,
           Jesus calls:

 whether we welcome Him or not,
     whether we argue or not,
whether we speed past Him or not,
 deaf and blind, with no ears to hear
           or eyes to see  --
                 Still

              always:
        God is love and
           God  is now.

     Psalm 118:24

This is the day that the

Lord has made; let us rejoice

    and be glad in it.
