A Morning Resolve

I stand by my window and watch.
One by one the stars all leave me.
I am having coffee with the dawn.

The first ray of Son descending
   into my coffee cup . . .
   into my heart.
The steam from my coffee ascending
   to the heavens . . .
   into God's heart.
The yearning in my heart streaming
   to the heavens . . .
   into God's heart.
And God, standing in the heavens
   watching the Son . . .
   rising in my heart,
Leans down to breathe in
   the first rays . . .
   of my yearning,
And names it 'Morning Prayer.'
