Spark of Life

Across the heaven
a line of light
opens the day
while another
marks the night.
Beneath the skies
we sleep then wake
alive to the morning.
The voice of God
rises tender and sweet,
a green sprout of corn
to comfort us
while seeds of the eternal
take moisture from the well within
and a spark of life
struck on the old stone of faith
fires the miracle
of our deepest dreams.

    The starting line of each morning, and of my life, necessitates spiritual activation. The ending line of dusk, and of my life well lived, properly requires I carefully fold the aspects of my day, and my life, with pride of having served well. Thank you, Don.
