Sunrise
On difficult nights
Hold your articles of faith
Closer to your heart
Trust the universe will send
Strength to you to see it through.
Practice compassion
Meditate worship or pray
Like the dawn breaking
Diluting indigo sky
Contentment grows by degrees.
Expect no ‘aha!’
Or sudden epiphany
But a slow dawning
Horizon colours rising
Pink and gold gently appear.
The sun comes surely
Though the dark was once deeper
As if permanent
A thousand small decisions
Will lead you into the light.
