Awakening Words

I
Aw (OR: Ahhhh!)
Ake ( ache?)
A W  A K E
- not a Wake, infinitely better -
awake again this day, a miracle! O gratitude
Awaking (a choice to make)
Repeat the past, Recycle Me, or At Last
Recall Living Words
II

Awaking each day. Stop recycling away
Especially hurts. Words like swords. 
Say:
I thank the Universe
In halting prayers or living Verse
To wake up is simply an Awakening
This should be happening
Each time we are born again from naps
Jesus: You have changed me: With me in the gaps

III
The great choice before us each day
Is to begin with "I Pray -
I will be grateful today
No one owes me this 24-hour New Day
Addictions, old worries. Away!
Words of Life, think them, not of yesterday
The Universe is waiting to blow us away" shalom shalom
